Many changes:

  • New official image tags: python3.6, python3.6-index, python.3.5, python3.5-index, python2.7 and python2.7-index. All the other images are deprecated in favor is this ones.
  • Python 3.6 is now the recommended default. Even the example projects for other versions were removed to discourage using older Python versions for new projects.
  • Any of the older images that didn't have a Python version will show a deprecation warning and take some time to start. As soon the tag latest will point to Python 3.6 and the other tags will be removed.
  • There were several improvements in the bas image tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx that improved this image too.
  • By default, now there is no limit in the upload file size in Nginx. It can be configured in an environment variable.
  • It's now possible to configure several things with environment variables:
    • Serve index.html directly: STATIC_INDEX
    • Set the max upload file size: NGINX_MAX_UPLOAD
    • Set a custom uwsgi.ini file (that allows using a custom directory different than /app): UWSGI_INI (using the ideas by @bercikr in #5 ).
    • Set a custom ./static/ path: STATIC_PATH
    • Set a custom /static/ URL: STATIC_URL
  • As all this configurations are available as environment variables, the choices are a lot more simple. Actually, any new project would just need to use a Dockerfile with:
FROM tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx-flask:python3.6

COPY ./app /app

and then customize with environment variables.
