DUG Search Client

This is a stand-alone client to use DUGThis is a React app containerized for development and production with Docker Compose.

Environment Variables

Define the API URL for DUG as the environment variable REACT_APP_DUG_URL in .env. Use .env.example as a guide. The development server will be accessible on port 3030, unless the variable CLIENT_PORT is specified differently in .env.

Production deployment defaults to port 80.

Development

The development build details are defined in ./docker-compose.yaml and ./Dockerfile. This compose file is used by default when executing the following command.

$ docker-compose up

Add the --build directive if a build is ecessary. Visit http://localhost:<CLIENT_PORT> in a web browser to view the application. Note that one can take advantage with hot module reloading within this containerized development environment.

Production

The production build details are defined in ./docker-compose.prod.yaml and ./Dockerfile-prod. Be sure to specify this compose file when building for production with the following command.

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yaml up

Again, add the --build flag to force a rebuild. This deployment makes use of a multi-stage build—Node to build, Nginx to deploy—thus we make use of the Nginx configuration file ./nginx.conf. This deploys to the host machine's port 80.
