Expected result

Listing containers must show one container running and the port mapping as below:

$ docker compose ps
NAME                COMMAND             SERVICE             STATUS              PORTS
flask-web-1         "python3 app.py"    web                 running             0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp

to see the website got to: http://localhost:8000

Stop and remove the containers

$ docker compose down
