# Dev This directory contains files used for developer work

Dockerfile-app:

• used to build the DockerHub image

eslintrc-stripped.js:

• alternate linting rules, used in development

meilisearch.yml:

• Dockerfile for building meilisearch image independently from project

single-compose.yml:

• Dockerfile for building app image without meilisearch and mongodb services
  • This is useful for deploying on Google, Azure, etc., as a single, leaner container.
• From root dir of the project, run docker-compose -f ./docs/dev/single-compose.yml up --build
  • When you don't need to build, run docker-compose -f ./docs/dev/single-compose.yml up
• This requires you use a MongoDB Atlas connection string for the MONGO_URI env var
  • A URI string to a mongodb service accessible to your container is also possible.
  • Remote Meilisearch may also be possible in the same manner, but is not tested.

deploy-compose.yml:

• Similar to above, but with basic configuration for deployment to a cloud provider where multi-container compose works
  • Tested and working on a $6 droplet on DigitalOcean, just by visiting the http://server-ip/9000.
  • Not a scalable solution, but ideal for quickly hosting on a remote linux server.
  • You should adjust server_name localhost; to match your domain name, replacing localhost, as needed.
• From root dir of the project, run docker-compose -f ./docs/dev/deploy-compose.yml up --build
  • When you don't need to build, run docker-compose -f ./docs/dev/deploy-compose.yml up
• Unlike the single-compose file, this containerizes both MongoDB and Meilisearch, as they are already setup for you.
