The Jobsearch app is a Flask webapp connected to a MariaDB database. This repository contains two Dockerfiles that create a container for each that are then linked together. The MariaDB database is populated with the schema and data from the .sql file, and the Flask app is a collection of webpages powered by logic and routes in the python file.

1. Create the MariaDB container from the Dockerfile in /mariadb-docker by navigating to that folder and running the terminal commands:

• docker build -t mariadb-local .
• docker run -d --name mariadb-jobsearch -p 3307:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mypass --mount type=volume,source=mysqlDB,target=/var/lib/mysql --mount type=bind,source="${PWD}"/datadir,target=/home/ --restart always mariadb-local
• Adjust the host's port from 3307 if it's already mapped to another server

1. Connect to the MariaDB database to your database client using the credentials specified during the run command (default usename:password | root:mypass)
2. Run the jobsearch.sql file to create and populate the Jobsearching database

1. Build the Flask image from the Dockerfile in the root directory by navigating to that folder and running the terminal command:

• docker build -t python-flask .

1. Now that the containers for the Flask app and MariaDB database are created, a network is necessary for them to communicate. In terminal fun the following commands:

• docker network create --driver=bridge db-netwoork
• docker network connect db-netwoork mariadb-jobsearch

1. With the network set up, run the following command in terminal to create the Flask container:

• docker run --name jobsearch-app -p 5000:5000 --mount type=bind,source="${PWD}"/webapp,target=/app --net db-netwoork python-flask

1. Navigate to http://localhost:5000/ in your web browser to use the webapp
