I'm new to coding and been fiddling around with docker containers and services
I have installed a temporary vscode server on my raspberry and deployed on my local lan for accessing it from various machines
Now i've been trying to create a flask app and run it from the container and trying to figure out how to publish and run the flask web server since i can't figure out what ip should i host it on (the default i always used was host=127.0.0.1 port=8080, but that would bring me to the local machine i'm visiting it from)
So while i was troubleshooting to understand what to do with exposed ports etc i've stopped the container and changed the docker-compose file, (i have a path set for the config's permanent storage, so my vscode setting are actually saved and persistent between deployments)
But I'm having the problem that every time i stop and re deploy the container i loose my python3 installation, and have to re run apt-update, apt-upgrade, apt install python3-pip and every python packages i need for the project
Where am i going wrong?
Silly question, but where does python get installed, and why isn't it persistent since i have my config path set?
I read that python gets installed in usr/local/lib, should i also map those directories to the persistent storage folder?
how should i do that?
thanks
