Dockerize for Scalability about liveactionmap HOT 5 CLOSED

@laurin merged #12!

from liveactionmap.

Also also. Would you have a way to communicate more live? I'd say discord?

from liveactionmap.

As I'm looking at the code. It generates an index.html
I haven't ever really touched python but would it be possible for it instead of generating the file to host the data live? Maybe run a scrape every 5-10 mins and host the file? This would make the app more scalable. Even better would be if the backed was to save the data to a DB and then have a middleware serving the actual map data. But that might be a little over the top...

@DomiiBunn yes, my discord is superboyk#5755
I agree with your suggestion to dockerize, however I have limited experience with docker.
Currently I'm doing the following to host the files. I'm using a simple apache server to host the static html file.

1. Create a shell script to a) add environment variable, b) run scrape.py to create an index.html file, c) move index.html to /var/www/html
2. Setup a cron job to call the script every 10 minutes

I'm currently working on containerizing this.
I think it would be best if we can merge #12, so the generated file can be mounted easily
