Repository containing relevant Dockerfiles for creating a development environment for the CodeSupport website.
This repo is aimed to increase the ease of development with the CodeSupport website stack. It bundles up both the backend and the frontend into two Docker containers with the required dependencies to get the project running, while also cloning the projects locally and mounting them as volumes to ensure development is also seamless.
Firstly, we need to create an OAuth2 application with Discord here to be able to connect to the discord API. Once you have created a new application make note of the client ID and client secret.
In the project there is an example.env file, we need to copy this and rename it to .env. This is the env file the backend will use. In the env file DISCORD_APP_ID and DISCORD_APP_SECRET are both blank, we need to fill these in with the values from the previous step.
From here getting started is really quite simple, its just a case of running the ./start.sh script
$ ./start.sh
This will clone each respective project into the frontend and backend projects, and build the required docker containers.
To view the site once everything has loaded direct your browser to http://localhost:3000 To view the backend swagger documentation direct your browser to http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html
If you wish to make the frontend wait until the backend has started and is ready to receive connections navigate to run.sh in frontend/ and uncomment lines 6-8.
