Task Manager Docker

A simple task management system built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and Docker. This project allows you to manage tasks with CRUD operations and prioritize tasks.

Features

• Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) tasks: Manage your tasks easily with a user-friendly interface.
• Priority levels: Assign priority levels to tasks.
• Dockerized: The entire application is containerized using Docker for easy deployment and management.

Project Structure

• client/: Contains the React frontend application.
• app/: Contains the Node.js backend application.
• docker-compose.yml: Docker Compose configuration file to build and run the client and server containers.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Frnn4268/task-manager-docker.git

cd task-manager-docker

2. Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the server directory with the following content:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://mongo:27017/taskmanager
PORT=5000

Replace MONGODB_URI with your MongoDB connection string if you're not using Docker for MongoDB.

3. Build and Run the Application

Use Docker Compose to build and run the client and server containers:

docker-compose up --build

This command will build the Docker images for both the client and server, and start the containers.

4. Acces the Application:

• Client (React frontend): Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

• Server (API): The server API will be accessible at http://localhost:5000.

Project Configuration

1. Client Configuration: The React frontend is configured to run on port 3000.
2. Server Configuration: The Node.js backend is configured to run on port 5000 and connect to MongoDB.

Development

To make changes to the project:

1. Client: Make changes in the client directory and rebuild the client Docker image.
2. Server: Make changes in the server directory and rebuild the server Docker image.

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter issues with Docker Compose, ensure that Docker and Docker Compose are installed correctly.
• For connection issues, verify that MongoDB is accessible at the specified URI.
