README
A simple HTTP server implemented in C++ using the C++ REST SDK. It listens for incoming HTTP GET requests and responds with a JSON message. This is for Docker's [C++ Language Guide](https://docs.docker.com/language/cpp/).
## API
The server only supports the HTTP GET method at the moment. When a GET request is received, the server responds with a JSON object:
```json
{
"message": "OK"
}
```
## Running with Docker Compose
Below is the [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) for the C++ application:
```Dockerfile
# Use the official Ubuntu image as the base image
FROM ubuntu:latest
# Set the working directory in the container
WORKDIR /app
# Install necessary dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
g++ \
libcpprest-dev \
libboost-all-dev \
libssl-dev \
cmake
# Copy the source code into the container
COPY ok_api.cpp .
# Compile the C++ code
RUN g++ -o ok_api ok_api.cpp -lcpprest -lboost_system -lboost_thread -lboost_chrono -lboost_random -lssl -lcrypto
# Expose the port on which the API will listen
EXPOSE 8080
# Command to run the API when the container starts
CMD ["./ok_api"]
```
To run this application using Docker Compose, you'll need to create a `compose.yml` file.
Here's the `compose.yml` file:
```yaml
services:
ok-api:
image: ok-api
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
ports:
- "8080:8080"
```
To build and run the Docker image using Docker Compose, use the following command:
```bash
docker-compose up
```
This will build the Docker image and then run it, mapping the container's port 8080 to port 8080 on the host machine. You can then access the API by visiting `http://localhost:8080` in your web browser.
