Creating simple Python server container

Goal

As we did for Go and Java, where is was possible to create an Dockerfile starting from “scratch”, the goal of this post is to create a python base server container with a minimum about of packages (debian and python) to reduce the security exposure of the container as well as the image size.

Key Aspects

• Use SCRATCH has base image to keep size minimum
• Simple HelloWorld Python web server
• Create associated HELM chart for Kubernetes deployment
• Provide deployment for both amd64 and arm32v7

Simple Python Server

The pythonhttpserver repo showcases:

• How to create a simple Python3 server
• How to leverage Travis to compile for amd64 and arm32v7.
• Branch amd64 is for normal PC and HP server.
• Branch arm32v7 produces software usable on Raspberry PI 3B+
