# Hello World - Python sample
A simple web app written in Python that you can use for testing.
It reads in an env variable `TARGET` and prints "Hello ${TARGET}!". If
TARGET is not specified, it will use "World" as the TARGET.
## Prerequisites
* A Kubernetes cluster with Knative installed. Follow the
[installation instructions](https://github.com/knative/docs/blob/master/install/README.md) if you need
to create one.
* [Docker](https://www.docker.com) installed and running on your local machine,
and a Docker Hub account configured (we'll use it for a container registry).
## Steps to recreate the sample code
While you can clone all of the code from this directory, hello world apps are
generally more useful if you build them step-by-step.
The following instructions recreate the source files from this folder.
1. Create a new directory and cd into it:
````shell
mkdir app
cd app
````
1. Create a file named `app.py` and copy the code block below into it:
```python
import os
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
target = os.environ.get('TARGET', 'World')
return 'Hello {}!\n'.format(target)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True,host='0.0.0.0',port=int(os.environ.get('PORT', 8080)))
```
1. Create a file named `Dockerfile` and copy the code block below into it.
See [official Python docker image](https://hub.docker.com/_/python/) for more details.
```docker
FROM python:alpine
ENV APP_HOME /app
COPY . $APP_HOME
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
RUN pip install Flask
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]
CMD ["app.py"]
```
1. Create a new file, `service.yaml` and copy the following service definition
into the file. Make sure to replace `{username}` with your Docker Hub username.
```yaml
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: helloworld-python
namespace: default
spec:
runLatest:
configuration:
revisionTemplate:
spec:
container:
image: docker.io/{username}/helloworld-python
env:
- name: TARGET
value: "Python Sample v1"
```
## Build and deploy this sample
Once you have recreated the sample code files (or used the files in the sample
folder) you're ready to build and deploy the sample app.
1. Use Docker to build the sample code into a container. To build and push with
Docker Hub, run these commands replacing `{username}` with your
Docker Hub username:
```shell
# Build the container on your local machine
docker build -t {username}/helloworld-python .
# Push the container to docker registry
docker push {username}/helloworld-python
```
1. After the build has completed and the container is pushed to docker hub, you
can deploy the app into your cluster. Ensure that the container image value
in `service.yaml` matches the container you built in
the previous step. Apply the configuration using `kubectl`:
```shell
kubectl apply --filename service.yaml
```
1. Now that your service is created, Knative will perform the following steps:
* Create a new immutable revision for this version of the app.
* Network programming to create a route, ingress, service, and load balance for your app.
* Automatically scale your pods up and down (including to zero active pods).
1. To find the IP address for your service, use
`kubectl get svc knative-ingressgateway --namespace istio-system` to get the ingress IP for your
cluster. If your cluster is new, it may take sometime for the service to get asssigned
an external IP address.
```shell
kubectl get svc knative-ingressgateway --namespace istio-system
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
knative-ingressgateway LoadBalancer 10.23.247.74 35.203.155.229 80:32380/TCP,443:32390/TCP,32400:32400/TCP 2d
```
1. To find the URL for your service, use
```
kubectl get ksvc helloworld-python --output=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,DOMAIN:.status.domain
NAME DOMAIN
helloworld-python helloworld-python.default.example.com
```
1. Now you can make a request to your app to see the result. Replace `{IP_ADDRESS}`
with the address you see returned in the previous step.
```shell
curl -H "Host: helloworld-python.default.example.com" http://{IP_ADDRESS}
Hello World: Python Sample v1!
```
## Remove the sample app deployment
To remove the sample app from your cluster, delete the service record:
```shell
kubectl delete --filename service.yaml
```
