# We use a mariadb image which supports both amd64 & arm64 architecture
2022-07-13 08:44:29 -04:00
image: mariadb:10-focal

# If you really want to use MySQL, uncomment the following line
2022-07-13 08:44:29 -04:00
#image: mysql:8
2020-03-06 19:25:16 +01:00
...
proxy:
build: proxy
...
```
The compose file defines an application with three services `proxy` , `backend` and `db` .
2022-05-10 11:59:25 +02:00
When deploying the application, docker compose maps port 80 of the proxy service container to port 80 of the host as specified in the file.
2020-03-06 19:25:16 +01:00
Make sure port 80 on the host is not already being in use.

> ℹ ️ **_INFO_**
> For compatibility purpose between `AMD64` and `ARM64` architecture, we use a MariaDB as database instead of MySQL.
> You still can use the MySQL image by uncommenting the following line in the Compose file
2022-07-13 08:44:29 -04:00
> `#image: mysql:8`

## Expected result
2022-07-13 08:44:29 -04:00
Listing containers should show three containers running and the port mapping as below:
2020-03-06 19:25:16 +01:00
```
2022-07-13 08:44:29 -04:00
$ docker compose ps
NAME COMMAND SERVICE STATUS PORTS
nginx-flask-mysql-backend-1 "flask run" backend running 0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp
nginx-flask-mysql-db-1 "docker-entrypoint.s…" db running (healthy) 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp
nginx-flask-mysql-proxy-1 "nginx -g 'daemon of…" proxy running 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp
2020-03-06 19:25:16 +01:00
```
After the application starts, navigate to `http://localhost:80` in your web browser or run:
```
2021-04-06 12:00:33 +02:00
$ curl localhost:80
2020-03-17 22:03:44 +01:00

2020-03-06 19:25:16 +01:00
```
Stop and remove the containers
```
2022-05-10 11:59:25 +02:00
$ docker compose down
2020-03-06 19:25:16 +01:00
```

## Use with Docker Development Environments
You can use this sample with the Dev Environments feature of Docker Desktop.

To develop directly on the services inside containers, use the HTTPS Git url of the sample:
