Backend API build on node.js with express for PowerLog fronted trying to follow Clean Architecture principles and DDD
This section should list any major frameworks/libraries used to bootstrap your project. Leave any add-ons/plugins for the acknowledgements section. Here are a few examples.

| PG_HOST | powerlog-pg-db |
| PG_PORT | 5432 |
| PG_USER | postgres |

- BACKEND_PORT: port of the node api and used by the nginx proxy
- BACKEND_NAME: container name of the node api and used by the nginx proxy
- DB_HOST: name of the database container and used by the api for its connection
- DB_PORT: database port used by the api for its connection
- DB_USER: database user and used by the api for its connection
- DB_PASSWORD: database password and used by the api for its connection
- DB_NAME: database name and used by the api for its connection
- NGINX_PORT: nginx proxy port, port used to communicate with the api
Docker containers communicate using their internal network via container name, so we only expose the nginx proxy port
Docker and Docker compose
Build the server:
docker compose -f "docker-compose.dev.yml" up -d --build
Down the server:
docker compose -f "docker-compose.dev.yml" down
Start the server:
docker compose -f "docker-compose.dev.yml" start
Stop the server:
docker compose -f "docker-compose.dev.yml" stop
