Docker will work on both Windows and Linux, you just need to install Docker. For better performance on Windows, install Windows Subsystem for Linux 2.
The Dockerfile in this repo configures the image environment for our app. Docker-Compose is used as a simple way to do cross-platform building. It reduces the number of commands that have to be run manually, while avoiding platform-dependent bash or batch scripts.
Run docker-compose build to build the image, including code changes.
Run docker-compose run --entrypoint bash flask to launch the container and drop into a shell for development.
