docker usage:

The docker file will build the release with distillery 2.0. You can then run the built docker image and expose port 8088 as in below example.

docker build . -t emoji_server_image
docker run -d --name emoji_server -p 8088:8088 emoji_server_image

# then if you want to stop it: 
docker stop emoji_server

building in docker for linux target

If you are developing on MAC for example and would like to build the app for a linux server, you can also make use of docker. Just build the docker image which will create the linux artifacts, and copy the files out of docker to your machine.

# build the image as in the above step:
docker build . -t emoji_server_image

# cd into a folder where you would like to copy the _build folder to on your host machine and execute:
docker run -v `pwd`:/linux-build -w /linux-build -i -t emoji_server_image cp -R /app/_build .

# you will find the _build folder in your current directory
