## demo app - developing with Docker
This demo app shows a simple user profile app set up using
- index.html with pure js and css styles.
- nodejs backend with express module.
- mongodb for data storage.
All components are docker-based
### With Docker
#### To start the application
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 in 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 - go to `app` directory of project
npm install
node server.js
Step 7: Access you nodejs application UI from browser
http://localhost:3000
### With Docker Compose
#### To start the application
Step 1: start mongodb and mongo-express
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up
_You can access the mongo-express under localhost:8080 from your browser_
Step 2: in mongo-express UI - create a new database "my-db"
Step 3: in mongo-express UI - create a new collection "users" in the database "my-db"
Step 4: start node server
npm install
node server.js
Step 5: access the nodejs application from browser
http://localhost:3000
#### To build a docker image from the application
docker build -t my-app:1.0 .
The dot "." at the end of the command denotes location of the Dockerfile.
