Dockerfile

#
# This is the Project Lynchburg Dockerfile
# It creates a docker container with web2py, uwsgi and tornado
# ready to connect to a reverse proxy on the system.
#
# Exposed are ports 80 and 8888 which requires uwsgi_pass and a reverse
# connection upgrade to websockts proxy_pass respectively
#
# This Dockerfile is inspired by the one @smithmicro created (https://github.com/smithmicro/web2py)
#

# WORKAROUND:
#
# Replace the web2py "websocket_messaging.py" with a custom one fixed for python3.8
# If at some point this file is fixed for python3.8 in the Git Repo, this can be removed
