Production Environment

For production environment, we create a docker image of the client side app and a separate image for the server side app. Then, we run these images through the docker-compose.yml file placed in the root directory. Finally, we save the docker files; transfer the two images to the production server, and rebuild the docker images on the server. The following instructions guide you through all these steps in bash commands: Post to production:

#Step1: generate docker images

1. From client folder: docker build -t reactapp .
2. From server folder: docker build -t simapp .
3. run : docker-compose up -d

#Step2: save images from the folder you want them to be saved

1. docker save -o reactapp reactapp
2. docker save -o simapp simapp

#Step3: send images to server

1. scp reactapp mana@edusim.ca:dimages
2. scp simapp mana@edusim.ca:dimages

#Step4: load the images on the server

1. sudo docker load < reactapp
2. sudo docker load < simapp
