First, start by ensuring that you have NodeJS installed. The following command should show the version of NodeJS you have installed on your local machine.
node --version
Next, ensure that you have docker installed on your local machine by running the following command. It should show the version of docker that you have installed on your local machine.
docker --version
Then, clone the app on your desired directory on your local machine, using the following command.
git clone https://github.com/CS3219-AY2324S1/ay2324s1-course-assessment-g44.git
Start the Docker Daemon on your local machine by running the Docker application.
Next, we need to configure some environment variables first. There are a few environment variables that needs to be configured in src/docker-compose.yml, before running the app. They are listed below in the following format: variableName in serviceName
POSTGRES_PASSWORDinpostgres_dbPG_PASSWORDinuser-backendmongoStringinquestion-backendAMPQURLinmatching-backendKEYincode-execution
The values for the last 3 environment variables can be found in Assignment5-environmentVariables.txt that was uploaded to Canvas. However, for POSTGRES_PASSWORD and PG_PASSWORD, please input your own password to your own Postgres(i.e. the values for both POSTGRES_PASSWORD and PG_PASSWORD is the same, which is your own password to postgres). The default password should be postgres.
Next, run the following command to ensure that the docker images are built, in order to run the app.
docker-compose -f src/docker-compose.yml build
Then, to start the containers, run the following command.
docker-compose -f src/docker-compose.yml up -d
On two different browsers, you can now use the app by connecting to http://localhost:8080 and http://localhost:8081 respectively.
Run the following command to stop all containers and remove them.
docker-compose -f src/docker-compose.yml down
