Unicode to Bijoy Bangla Converter

This project provides a simple UI to convert Bengali Unicode text to Bijoy Bangla. Originally built using Flask, it has now been migrated to FastAPI and dockerized for easier deployment and portability.

What I Learned in This Project

• How template engines work with web frameworks.
• The differences between Flask and FastAPI.
• Logical differences and mapping between Unicode and Bijoy encodings.
• How to containerize a web application using Docker.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your machine.
• A web browser.

Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/dstushar7/converter.thetechguybd.com.git
cd converter.thetechguybd.com

2. Build the Docker Image

Build the Docker image using the provided Dockerfile. You can tag the image with a name that reflects its purpose:

docker build -t unicode-to-bijoy-converter .

3. Run the Docker Container

Run the Docker container, mapping port 8000 inside the container to port 8000 on your host:

docker run -p 8000:8000 unicode-to-bijoy-converter

4. Access the Application

Open your web browser and visit:

http://localhost:8000

The application will display a UI where you can input Bengali Unicode text and convert it to Bijoy Bangla when you click the conversion button.

You can also directly pull the project from DockerHub :

Below are the Docker run commands. You can pull the image from Docker Hub (dstushar7/unicode-to-converter) and run it as follows:

# Pull the image from Docker Hub
docker pull dstushar7/unicode-to-bijoy-converter:latest

# Run the Docker container mapping port 8000
docker run -p 8000:8000 dstushar7/unicode-to-bijoy-converter:latest

Once the container is running, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access the application.
