Dockerized-webapp-flask-bgcolor

This is a simple flask webapp that displays a colored background and a dynamic greeting message.

Dynamic Color

The color can be specified in two different ways:

1. As a command line argument with --color as the argument. Accepts one of the following colors according the list below.
2. As an Environment variable APP_COLOR. Accepts one of the following colors according the list below.

In any other case, a random color is picked from the list below.

Note 1: Accepted colors ["red", "green", "blue", "olive", "purple", "navy"]
Note 2: Command line argument precedes over environment variable.

Dynamic Title

The dynamic greeting message can be specified in two different ways:

1. As a command line argument with --title as the argument. Accepts any text message!
2. As an Environment variable APP_TITLE. Accepts any text message.

In any other case, the static text "Cloud Computing - University of West Attica" is applied.

Note 3: Command line argument precedes over environment variable.
