Introduction

This repository contains 2 dockers (frontend & backend) to send and receive messages in a secure way.

Running the project locally

If you want to run the project locally on your own computer, you can do so in two ways. You can run it like in production and start the Docker containers or run it like you would when developing.

Production-like

Here is assumed that you have Docker installed correctly.

Start of by building the images: .\00_build_images.cmd or ./00_build_images.sh. Alternatively, you can also pull the images that are already build by: .\00b_pull_images.cmd or ./00b_pull_images.sh.

Frontend

Start frontend by: .\01_start_frontend.cmd or ./01_start_frontend.sh. You can now go to this address in your browser: localhost:4200.

Backend
