How to Run the Server

1. Downloads the codes of this repository and move to the directory.

git clone https://github.com/JacobYim/CSE442-BuyNSell.git

Note: make sure that the Docker is running.

2. Run Docker Image at the port 8080.

docker build -t buynsell .
docker-compose up -d
node server.js

(Note : the docker-compose has components to make server docker, so it tries to the server docker at 8080. However it does not survive becuase the database connection is not set)

If does not works, please type the following command at terminal: npm install pg.

3. Approach http://0.0.0.0:8080 with Web Browser.

4. When want to quit the server press control + C key on keyboad at the terminal typed node server.js
   When want to quit database press docker-compose down on the terminal.

docker image rm -f buynsell postgres
docker build -t buynsell .
docker-compose up -d
