create a pep8 valid and pyling-valid flask restAPI that returns user profiles. Make all dependencies in requirements.txt installed in a venv. The files should be in a typical directory structure for a python package. Everything should be in a docker container then have a script that automatically launches the container and restAPI when the computer turns on. The end result is that when I open a web browser and go to localhost:8082/users/john, I should get a JSON of john's user profile

Cron steps

• Make the shell script executable by running the following command:

  chmod +x build_and_run.sh

• Open the crontab file by running the following command:

  crontab -e

• Add the following line at the end of the file to run the shell script at system startup:

  @reboot /path/to/your/project/directory/build_and_run.sh

  Replace /path/to/your/project/directory with the actual path to your project directory.
• Save and exit the crontab file.
