This project shares a common boilerplate for applications developed in the context of my lecture "Advanced Software Engineering" at DHBW Stuttgart.

This project folder contains code for an API- and WWW-server. Both run in a virtualized docker environment for which docker-compose.yml exists.

Install docker environment, e.g. with docker toolbox software package or corresponding suites for linux or MacOS.

We will use docker for infrastructure virtualization. Get comfortable with it.

It is best to use a separate docker machine with this infrastructure requirements. Create one machine with docker-machine create command and spend this machine at least 2 cores and 2GB memory for good performance.

NOTICE: Don't forget to previously configure a docker-machine and connect your CLI with it using eval $(docker-machine env ...) command!

The docker configuration file is docker-compose.yml and defines

For the first docker infrastructure creation:

docker-compose up

After this you can start the infrastructure later on with (no provisioning):

docker-compose start

...and stop it with (no deletion):

docker-compose stop 

If you want to bury your docker containers use:

docker-compose down

Add the IP of this corresponding docker machine to your hosts file with the names www.starter and api.starter. You can use docker-machine ip ... to retrieve the machine's current IP address.
