Launching Application with Docker

This guide outlines how to set up and start the application using Docker.

Prerequisites

• Docker must be installed on your system. If not, follow the instructions at Docker Installation Guide.

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ddmaxon/Prod-DDM-APP.git
   cd Prod-DDM-APP

2. Adjust configuration files:

   • Review the configuration files to ensure they meet your requirements.
   • Make any necessary adjustments if needed.

3. Building Docker images:

   docker-compose build web

4. Start the application:

   docker-compose up -d

   The -d flag starts the containers in the background.

5. Check the status of containers:

   docker-compose ps

   This displays the status of the running containers.

6. Access the application:

   The application should now be accessible at the provided address, usually localhost or the host's IP address depending on the configuration.

7. Stopping and removing containers:

   To stop and remove the containers, execute the following command:

   docker-compose down

   This will stop and remove all running containers, but it will retain the data unless the -v flag is used to remove volumes as well.

Notes

• Ensure that the ports specified in the compose.yml file are not being used by other applications.
• Adjust environment variables in the compose.yml file as needed to configure the application.
