Notes on docker

How to run

Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed.

Run:

docker-compose up

Then, in the browser, go to localhost:80 and you should see the application with a response from the backend.

When killing the server, be sure to cleanup your containers.

docker-compose down

Other commands

To start docker without it taking over the command terminal, use the following (note, this will not display all the output, so you may not see error messages):

docker-compose up -d

To shut down docker after staring it with the -d command, run

docker-compose stop

To shut down and cleanup the networkl after staring it with the -d command, run

docker-compose down

Then check which image is running using docker images and run

docker run -p 8000:80 image_id sh entrypoint.sh

This will destory all stopped containers and force docker to rebuild these containers the next time you start docker

docker-compose rm
