Deployment:

1. CD into the exif-stripper folder
2. npm install to install all the dependencies
3. Run npm run build to build the project. The project should have created the build folder with the production-ready app in it.
4. CD into the exif-backend folder and run npm install to download dependencies for the backend server.
5. While still in the exif-backend, run the node main.js
   • The backend server expects the "build" folder to be one folder up the hierarchy. Example: backend is in exif/backend/ then it looks for the React build folder in exif/build/

Configuration

Backend

config/database.json - Use this file to configure the connection to the mongodb. By default, localhost:27017 and the collection "exif" are used.
