HomeRental

HomeRental is a dockerized MERN stack app which I developed towards my learning for Distributed systems and dockerization of web apps https://homerental.herokuapp.com/

To launch the entire stack

This launches the services that make up the app so they can be run together in an isolated environment.

docker-compose up -d

Open the app at http://localhost:3000

To down the entire stack

docker-compose down

To re-run the containers that have stopped

docker-compose up --no-recreate

To show running containers

docker-compose ps

More reference on usage of docker-compose cli here

To launch the containers individually

  • Create virtual docker network

    docker network create homerental
    
  • MongoDB

    docker run -d --name MONGODB_CONTAINER_NAME \
      --network=homerental \
      -p 27017:27017 \
        -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=MONGODB_USERNAME \
      -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=MONGODB_PASSWORD \
      mongo
    
  • Backend

    docker build -t homerental-backend -f ./homerental-backend/Dockerfile ./homerental-backend/.
    docker run -d --name homerental-backend \
      --network=homerental \
      -p 3500:3500 \
        -e MONGODB_USERNAME=USERNAME_OF_MONGODB \
        -e MONGODB_PASSWORD=PASSWORD_OF_MONGODB \
      -e MONGODB_HOST=HOSTNAME_WHERE_MONGODB_LISTENING \
      -e MONGODB_PORT=PORT_WHERE_MONGODB_LISTENING \
      -e AUTHENTICATING_DATABASE=DB_NAME_WHERE_CREDENTIALS_NEED_TO_AUTHENTICATE \
      -e WAIT_HOSTS=HOST:PORT of MongoDB to make a connection before starting the server
