Automating Flask App Deployment with Docker & GitHub Actions

Deploying web applications efficiently is a crucial part of modern software development. Docker simplifies application packaging, ensuring consistency across environments, while GitHub Actions automates workflows, enabling seamless CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment). In this tutorial, we will dockerize a Flask web application and set up a GitHub Actions pipeline to automate the build and deployment process. By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to: Create a Flask web application with a user-friendly homepage. Containerize the application using Docker. Automate Docker builds and push images to GitHub Container Registry (GHCR.io) using GitHub Actions. Verify and pull the Docker image from GHCR for deployment. Before you start, star this repo: https://github.com/aitechnav/Dockerize_Flask_Github_Actions Let’s get started!
