TICKETMASTER_KEY: you must sign up on the Ticketmaster website as a developer and generate your own API Key
FRONTEND_URL: you should normally set this variable to the url of the actual frontend to satisfy the cors policy, but to able to run using docker it has been decided to allow access to all origins, so there is no need to specify this variable inside the.envfile
Before running the application, make sure to set the required environment variables. You can do this by renaming the .env.example file in the root of your project, populating it with the necessary values and rename it as .env.
Run the following docker commands to deploy the application
sudo docker build --no-cache -t ticketswift-api .
sudo docker run --name ticketswift-api -d -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env ticketswift-api
