Flask app not running in docker container

I am learning docker using flask application.Here is the below code I am using

app.py

from flask import Flask



app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return 'Hello, World!'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

Dockerfile

FROM python:3

WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "app.py"]

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.9'
services:
  flask:
    build: .
    image: myapp:latest

When I tried to run the above flask app through python3 app.py it works on the port 5000 correctly.But when I tried to dockerize it docker compose up –build shows that the app is started no error or warning logs but localhost is not getting connected

[![localhost not connected][1]][1]

In Dockerfile I tried specifying the host also.Nothing worked. Can someone tell me how to resolve this issue?

I have tried all the solutions mentioned in this link Deploying a minimal flask app in docker – server connection issues

But still having the same issue. I have created a virtual env for this flask app and trying to run the docker container. After changing

app.run()

to

app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

and tried docker run <container_id> got the following console response

Terminal response
Kindly look all the attached image for clear reference

I could see that the app is running in my localhost as well as in some other ip.Attaching the below screenshot for the reference. Can some one address this issue?

    Change docker-compose to this

    version: '3.9'
services:
  flask:
    build: .
    image: myapp:latest
    ports:
     - "5000"

    You need to map a port in docker. To do that, add a ports field to your docker-compose.yml file. For example:

    version: '3.9'
services:
  flask:
    build: .
    image: myapp:latest
    ports:
      - "81:80"

    The Flask server will listen on port 80. You can now access the application using port 81 on your machine. More detail
