This is a demo application from the [Docker for Web Developers](https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/docker-web-development) course on Pluralsight that demonstrates how multiple services can be integrated and orchestrated using Docker and Docker Compose.

#### Running Docker with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on Windows?

Open a WSL (Linux) command prompt and clone the repo from there into a folder of your choosing:

`git clone https://github.com/danwahlin/codewithdandockerservices.git`

Ensure that Node is installed into your Linux instance (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/nodejs/setup-on-wsl2).

DO NOT clone the repo using a regular Windows command window if you're using WSL with Docker as there can be volume problems with MongoDB.

Note that if you're NOT using WSL at all you can clone the repo from any Windows command prompt.

#### Instructions

1. Install Docker Desktop for Mac or Docker CE for Windows from https://docker.com and the lastest LTS version of Node.js from https://nodejs.org.
1. Set the environment variables in your command window.
