simple-chat

A simple chat app using Angular 4 and socket.io

Deploying the app

Without Docker

1. Build the frontend.

   $ npm run build

2. Launch the server. The environment variable PORT defines the port the server listens on (default is 80).

   $ npm start
   Will run on port 80
   
   $ PORT=1234 npm start
   Will run on port 1234

With Docker

1. Build the frontend.

   $ npm run build

2. Build the container.

   $ docker build -t simple-chat .

3. Run the container. You can define the port of the app with the -p argument.

   $ docker run -d -p 80:80 simple-chat
   Will run on port 80
   
   $ docker run -d -p 1234:80 simple-chat
   Will run on port 1234
