Article -
In Development Mode :
First copy the content of docker-compose-dev.yml to docker-compose.yml
and also copy the content of server/src/index.dev.js to server/src/index.js
Run the app using :
$ docker-compose up --build --remove-orphans
or
$ docker-compose up -d
Above command will start the services on (-d) detach mode (similar like running the app in background)
Then you can check the status of the containers by running:
$ docker ps
The App should be App :
visit client : http://localhost:3000
visit server : http://localhost:8080
To check the status of the running containers :
docker-compose ps
In Production Mode :
First copy the content of docker-compose-prod.yml to docker-compose.yml
and also copy the content of server/src/index.prod.js to server/src/index.js
Run the app using :
$ docker-compose up --build -remove-orphans
The App should be up at http://localhost:8080
Build the image for server :
docker build -t myapp-server:1 . docker images docker run --name "myapp-server" -p 80:8080 myapp-server:1 docker ps
