Can we run a Flask server as a plugin in OMV?

  • Hi all,


    I'm doing some development with Python and want to server up to the internet with Flask. I have a server sitting here running OMV and I'm thinking, rather than purchasing a rasberry pi or a nuc, can I have my OMV server perform this task?


    thanks a tonne...

    Most likely that should work fine.


    Just try it. Install everything you need from the command line. I don't see any obvious reasons why it should not work. No need to install as a plugin to OMV, just run it parallel to OMV.


    But just to avoid extra work, make sure you backup the root filesystem first.

    Use a docker.

    This is what I was thinking. I haven't used docker as yet but my understanding is I can setup the whole python / flask / sql environment in a docker and it should just chug along yes? I'll give it a go. I'm concerned about facing the internet though, so will need to focus on some security no doubt

    sql should really be in a separate docker but that should work otherwise.

    Containers should be safer than running the same components on the host.
