# Running an Example Application Using SGX Platform

## 1.0 Introduction

The Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager (CCM) environment is designed with the goal of protecting any application. This article describes how to run a Flask Server application on a compute node.

## 2.0 Running a Flask Server Enclave OS Application

### 2.1 Prerequisites

Ensure the following:

- A Python Web Application should be created.
- A group must be created. *For more information, refer to*[*Create a Group*](/v1/docs/users-guide-create-groups)*.*

### 2.2 Run an Enclave OS Application on Compute Node

Perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the **Application** menu item in the CCM UI left navigation panel, and click **+** **ADD APPLICATION**.

**Figure 1: Create new application**
2. Add a Python Web Application. *For more information, refer to*[*Add and Edit an Application*](/v1/docs/users-guide-add-and-edit-an-application#40-add-enclave-os-application)*.*
3. Approve the domain for the Python Web Application. *For more information, refer to*[*Tasks*](/v1/docs/users-guide-domain-and-application-image-approval).
4. In the detailed view of the application, click **+ ADD IMAGE**.

**Figure 2: Create an image**
5. Create an image of the Python Web Application by providing a proper tag. *For more information, refer to*[*Create an Image*](/v1/docs/users-guide-create-an-image#30-create-an-image-for-enclave-os-applications).
6. Approve the image for the Python Web Application. *For more information, refer to*[*Tasks*](/v1/docs/users-guide-domain-and-application-image-approval).
7. Run the application image using the following command:

```bash
docker run --volume /dev:/dev -v /var/run/aesmd/aesm.socket:/var/run/aesmd/aesm.socket -e NODE_AGENT=http://52.152.206.164:9092/v1/ fortanix-private/python-flask-sgx
```

Where,
  - `9092` is the port on which Node Agent listens up.
  - `52.152.206.164` is the Node Agent Host IP.
  - `fortanix-private/python-flask-sgx` is the converted app that can be found in the **Images**under the **Image Name** column in the Images table.

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> - Use your own inputs for Node IP, Port, and Converted Image in the above format. The information in the example above is just a sample.
> - Add the following flag along with the command to get more details:
>   - `-e ENCLAVEOS_LOG_LEVEL=debug` - to get debug log
>   - `-p 7622:80 -p 8038:443` - to map the application custom port to `80` or `443`
8. To verify that the application is running, click the **APPLICATION**from the list in the Fortanix CCM UI and verify that there is a running application image associated with it and displayed with the application in the detailed view of the application.
