In order to run the fullstack you will require Docker to be installed on your machine, and WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)((If you are on Windows)).
You can find the download for Docker Desktop here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
Docker should advise you on whether or not you need to enable WSL for Docker to function properly, in the event that it does not
Instructions for enabling WSL can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
Once you have Docker Desktop installed and running, do as below:
- Open a new terminal
- Navigate to the root directory of this project, containing the
docker-compose.ymlfile - Enter the following command:
docker-compose up --build -d
At this point docker will begin spinning up 3 containers for the api, db & fe components of the project.
- Wait for the logs to report that the three projects have started, as below:
[+] Running 3/3
- Container interview-mongo-1 Started
- Container interview-api-1 Started
- Container interview-app-1 Started
- Open your preferred browser and navigate to localhost:3000 (http://localhost:3000/)
When you're finished, type docker-compose down, or close docker-desktop on your machine.
