Setting Up a FastAPI Application on Ubuntu Using Docker Compose<\/h2>\n

FastAPI is a modern Python<\/a> framework designed for building APIs with high performance, and it’s particularly well-suited for machine learning applications. Docker Compose simplifies managing multi-container Docker applications by allowing you to define and run multiple containers using a single YAML configuration file. In this tutorial, you will create and set up a FastAPI application on an Ubuntu server, using Docker<\/a> Compose for easy deployment.<\/p>\n

\"Setting<\/a><\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/h3>\n

Before starting, make sure you have:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An Ubuntu server:<\/b> This guide is written for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, but it will work with earlier supported versions such as Ubuntu 22.04, 20.04, and 18.04.<\/li>\n
  2. A non-root user with sudo privileges:<\/b> This user will perform administrative tasks without being the root user. Make sure the user has proper permissions to install packages and modify system files.<\/li>\n
  3. Firewall enabled on the server:<\/b> Ensure you have a firewall running and the necessary ports open.<\/li>\n
  4. Python 3 installed:<\/b> This guide assumes Python 3 is installed, which is the default in recent versions of Ubuntu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Setting Up an Ubuntu Server on AccuWeb.Cloud<\/h3>\n

    Step 1:<\/b> Log in to your AccuWeb.Cloud dashboard<\/b> and create a new virtual private server (VPS).<\/p>\n

    \"Create<\/a>
    \nStep 2: <\/b>Select Ubuntu 20.04<\/b> or the latest version as your operating system and database server as a     MariaDB<\/b><\/a>.
    \nStep 3: <\/b>Choose the appropriate resources for your server based on your needs and enter the environment name.
    \nStep 4: <\/b>After configuring the server, click on the Create<\/b> button.<\/p>\n

    \"Configuring<\/a><\/p>\n

    Steps to setting up a FastAPI Application on Ubuntu Using Docker Compose<\/h3>\n

    Step 1:<\/b> It’s always a good idea to start by updating the system to ensure you have the latest security patches and software versions:
    \nsudo apt-get update<\/b>
    \nThis will update the list of available packages. To upgrade the installed packages, run:
    \nsudo apt-get upgrade<\/b>
    \nStep 2:<\/b> Ubuntu 24.04 comes with Python 3 pre-installed. However, you should verify the installation by checking the     Python<\/a> version:
    \npython3 –version<\/b>
    \nIf Python 3 is not installed, you can install it using the following command:<\/p>\n

    sudo apt install python3<\/b><\/code><\/pre>\n
    \"Install<\/a><\/p>\n
    Next, install ‘pip’, the Python package manager, and ‘python3-dev’ which is necessary for compiling certain Python modules:<\/p>\n
    sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev<\/b><\/code><\/pre>\n
    \"Install<\/a><\/p>\n
