Docker-Compose-to-Deploy-Web-App

Define & run a simple, multi-container web application using docker-compose

To run :

• Install Docker
• $ git clone https://github.com/Lily-G1/Docker-Compose-to-Deploy-Web-App.git
• $ cd Docker-Compose-to-Deploy-Web-App/web-app/
• $ docker compose build
• $ docker compose up -d
• Check browser with IP address or localhost:80. To test the app, fill form & submit

To confirm that our app is connected to the backend, view the database to check for successful data entries:

• $ docker ps
• $ docker exec -it 'mysql container ID' /bin/bash
  • #mysql -u root -p (enter mysql password)
  • mysql> use db;
  • mysql> select * from test; --> to view table & confirm that form data has been entered successfully
  • exit; --> to exit mysql
  • #exit --> to exit container

• $ docker compose down --> stops & removes containers, images, volumes, etc created by 'docker compose up -d'

Important to note :

• To use a different password for MySQL, change passwords in mysql/Dockerfile and change the value of $password in form_submit.php to new password
• The MySQL database schema was created from the template of a mysql dump. This can be found in mysql/db.sql
