acronym-web-app

This branch launches 3x containers: one for MongoDB, one for nginx/front end, and one for the SpringBoot API. After completing these instructions, usage is:

• For Front-end, localhost:8081
• For API call, localhost:8080/acronyms?bullets=<text with acronyms>

1. Install docker (docker.io) and add your user to the docker group to add sudo rights (see https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/).

2. Delete any containers named acronym-nginx-container, acronym-spring-app, or acronym-mongo-db.

3. git clone this branch

4. Move into folder with Mongo Dockerfile

cd ./acronym-web-app/MongoDocker

5. Create docker software-defined network (SDN)

docker network create acronym-network

6. Build MongoDB Docker image named acronym-mongo-image

docker build -t acronym-mongo-image ./

7. Run MongoDB Docker image as a daemon, remove on exit, named acronym-mongo-db, map port 27017 on host to 27017 on container, and add to the SDN we defined.

docker run -d --rm --name acronym-mongo-db --p 27017:27017 --network acronym-network acronym-mongo-image

8. Move to springBoot directory cd ..

9. Build Spring Boot image & run

docker build -t acronym-spring-image
docker run -d --rm --name acronym-spring-app -p 8080:8080 --network acronym-network acronym-spring-image

10. Build nginx image & run (uses port 8081 on localhost for nginx http port 80)

docker build -t acronym-nginx-image
docker run -d --rm --name acronym-nginx-container -p 8081:80 --network acronym-network acronym-nginx-image

11. Access the app at localhost:8081!
