Add the docker support for the installer

[pkarw]

What is the motivation for adding / enhancing this feature?

We're able to run the Vue Storefront + Vue Storefront API solely using docker. No other requirements.
So, would be great to add the installer option to run it using docker - without the classical workflow.

To be honest, it's even simpler than current workflow. We just need to:

• clone vue-storefront
• run yarn install; yarn installer
• installer will ask You for lot of things
• in case of local vue-storefront-api - it still need to be cloned from the repo
• we need to setup the configs
• but then we're running just:

In the vue-storefront-api:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.nodejs.yml up -d

In the vue-storefront:
docker-compose up -d

What are the acceptance criteria

• There is a question in the installer "Would You like to start Vue Storefront using Docker either local Node instance? [default is the current behavior]"
• The installer runs VS using docker or local node instance accordingly

I can fix this.

@pkarw - Looking at the installer right now it seems like we both are starting the docker container and running the dev environment using nohup npm run dev? Shouldn't docker-compose up -d only be called if we're not running the api using npm or am I missing something here?

        return this.backend.validateM2Integration()
          .then(this.backend.cloneRepository.bind(this.backend))
          .then(this.backend.goToDirectory.bind(this.backend))
          .then(this.backend.npmInstall.bind(this.backend))
          .then(this.backend.createConfig.bind(this.backend))
          .then(this.backend.dockerComposeUp.bind(this.backend)) <-- docker-compose up -d
          .then(this.backend.importElasticSearch.bind(this.backend))
          .then(this.backend.runDevEnvironment.bind(this.backend)) <-- nohup npm run dev

We also need to change the runDevEnvironment() for the frontend to something like:

  runDevEnvironment (answers) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      Message.info('Starting storefront server...')
      if (answers.run_using_docker) {
        if (shell.exec(`docker-compose up -d > /dev/null 2>&1`).code !== 0) {
          reject(new Error('Can\'t start docker in background.'))
        }
      } else {
        if (shell.exec(`nohup npm run dev >> ${Abstract.storefrontLogStream} 2>&1 &`).code !== 0) {
          reject(new Error('Can\'t start storefront server.', VUE_STOREFRONT_LOG_FILE))
        }
      }

      resolve(answers)
    })
  }

Yes, You should run docker-compose up -d in the vue-storefront. In the vue-storefront-api - when local backend has been selected - You need to run

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.nodejs.yml up -d

Please note, that in case running the Dockerized app You need to modify the restore/migrate calls to:

docker exec -it vuestorefrontapi_app_1 yarn restore
docker exec -it vuestorefrontapi_app_1 yarn migrate

@Cyclonecode how are things with this task ?Tomorrow's hackathon is a good moment to close it :)

[Cyclonecode]

@pkarw - Completely forgot about this one, but it seems like it has been already implemented so this ticket can now be closed =)

[pkarw]

@Cyclonecode it's not yet done - there is just docker started in "classical way" - I mean running just elasticsearch + redis in the api.

We need to modify it to have VS + VS API running 100% on Docker as a result.

@pkarw - Ah, I looked on the code and I understand. Ok, I will try to look on this during this week.

[ruthgeridema]

@Cyclonecode , what is the status of this issue?

[hitchhooker]

Would be cool to see compatibility with podman as well.

I have had too much to do lately :) but will move this up in my todo list, actually I might look on this today. Let you know what is happening.
