Development

uv run flask --app src/main.py run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000 --debug

This will:

  • Watch for changes and restart the server automatically
  • Makes the app available on all network interfaces at port 8000, with debug mode enabled

Production

Builds a production-ready image. During the build, dependencies are installed with uv sync or uv pip install. When the container starts, it runs:

uv run --frozen gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 src.main:app

This uses the Gunicorn to serve your application on port 8000.
