Running as a container service

Setting Up Docker

1. Uninstall old versions of docker

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

2. Set up the repository

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg \
    lsb-release

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

3. Install docker

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

To verify the installation of docker, run: sudo docker run hello-world

4. Install docker-compose

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

5. Apply executable permissions to the binary:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Note: If the command docker-compose fails after installation, check your path. You can also create a symbolic link to /usr/bin or any other directory in your path. For example:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

To verify the installation of docker-compose, run: docker-compose --version

4. Start the app from root directory, run:

docker-compose up

to rebuild the app:

docker-compose up --build

Seeding data

Data can be modified in /server/seed-data/ From root directory, to delete old data, run:

node /server/seed-data/import.js --delete

to seed data:

node /server/seed-data/import.js --import

The docker container should be running for these commands to execute.

Head over to http://localhost:3000 to test the app.
