🤸 Quick Start

Follow these steps to set up the project locally on your machine.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Git
• Node.js
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• Docker
• MongoDB Compass

Cloning the Repository

git clone https://github.com/subho004/DockerIt.git
cd DockerIt

Installation

Install the project dependencies using npm:

npm install

Set Up Environment Variables

For a few specific applications, we require environment variables. I've included a sample .env.example file for these essential projects. However, one crucial element needed for these projects is,

DB_URL=

For full stack applications, we'll be using MongoDB as a database. So do create an account on MongoDB Atlas as well as install MongoDB Compass for creating local database instance for the project.

Running the Project

npm start

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to view the project.
