app - developing with Docker

This app shows a simple user profile app set up using

• index.html with pure js and css styles
• nodejs backend with express module
• mongodb for data storage

All components are docker-based

With Docker

To start the application

Step 1: Create docker network

docker network create mongo-network

Step 2: start mongodb

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=admin -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password --name mongodb --net mongo-network mongo

Step 3: start mongo-express

docker run -d -p 8081:8081 -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=admin -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=password --net mongo-network --name mongo-express -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=mongodb mongo-express

NOTE: creating docker-network in optional. You can start both containers in a default network. In this case, just emit --net flag in docker run command

Step 4: open mongo-express from browser

http://localhost:8081

Step 5: create user-account db and users collection in mongo-express

Step 6: Start your nodejs application locally - go to app directory of project

npm install
node server.js

Step 7: Access you nodejs application UI from browser

http://localhost:3000
