This simple app allows to display and update a user profile
All components are docker-based
Step 1: Create docker network
docker network create mongo-network
Step 2: start mongodb
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=admin -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password --name mongodb --net mongo-network mongo
Step 3: start mongo-express
docker run -d -p 8081:8081 -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=admin -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=password --net mongo-network --name mongo-express -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=mongodb mongo-express
NOTE: creating docker-network is optional. You can start both containers in a default network. In this case, just emit --net flag in docker run command
Step 4: open mongo-express from browser
http://localhost:8081
Step 5: create user-account db and users collection in mongo-express
Step 6: Start your nodejs application
-
locally: $cd app $npm install $node server.js --localhost or $npm run start
-
in a container: docker build -f frontend.Dockerfile .
Step 7: Access you nodejs application UI from browser http://localhost:3000
- Running the server locally
Step 1: build the backend containers docker-compose -f backend-service.yaml up
You can access the mongo-express under localhost:8080 from your browser
Step 2: start node server $cd app $npm install $node server.js
Step 3: access the nodejs application from browser http://localhost:3000
- Running the server from a container
Step1: Build the backend and frontend containers docker-compose -f fullstack-app.yaml up
You can access the mongo-express under localhost:8080 from your browser
Step 2: access the nodejs application from browser http://localhost:3000
docker build -t profile-app-frontend:1.0 -f frontend.Dockerfile .
docker-compose -f backend-service.yaml up
