'Changes on template files inside volume not showing on Flask frontend
I am using a docker-compose Flask implementation with the following configuration
docker-compose:
version: '3'
services:
dashboard:
build:
context: dashboard/
args:
APP_PORT: "8080"
container_name: dashboard
ports:
- "8080:8080"
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
APP_ENV: "prod"
APP_DEBUG: "False"
APP_PORT: "8080"
volumes:
- ./dashboard/:/usr/src/app
dashboard/Dockerfile:
FROM python:3.7-slim-bullseye
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED True
ARG APP_PORT
ENV APP_HOME /usr/src/app
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY requirements.txt ./requirements.txt
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
CMD exec gunicorn --bind :$APP_PORT --workers 1 --threads 8 --timeout 0 main:app
dashboard/main.py:
import os
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
If I apply any change to the index.html file in my host system using VSCode, these changes won't apply when I refresh the page. However, I have tried getting into the container with docker exec -it dashboard bash and cat /usr/src/app/templates/index.html and they are reflected inside the container, since the volume is shared between the host and the container.
If I stop the container and run it again the changes are applied, but as I am working on frontend doing that all the time is pretty annoying.
Why the changes won't show on the browser but they are replicated on the container?
