Flask Logging Project

For German version of this README, see README_DE.md

This project is a small website logging system I developed to gain practical experience with Linux servers, Docker, and Python. It consists of two Docker containers:

1. Web container: Hosts a simple website where visitors can check their IP address.
2. Logger container: Records each request with a timestamp in a .txt file.

Development was done on a virtual Ubuntu server in VirtualBox and later tested on a Debian server, with all connections made via SSH from a WSL-Debian terminal on Windows. The project was intentionally carried out in the terminal to simulate realistic server administration.

Note: The HTML and CSS files were entirely generated by ChatGPT.
