TDT4242 (exercise 2)

An e-commerce app with customers and admins

Currently our group is hosting the latest version of this application on AWS, and it can be accesed here

How to setup

If the above link is down (due to the project being finished) then you manually have to follow this set of steps:

1. Clone this repo
2. Make sure you have installed Node.js and can access this from some terminal (both "npm" and "node").
3. Navigate into the root of our project and run "npm install" to install dependencies.
4. Navigate into "/server" and run "node server.js" to start the server.
5. Access the application by going accessing "localhost:3000" in your web browser.

If you would rather run this using Docker then follow this set of steps:

1. Clone the repo, archive it as a .tar
2. Using docker (make sure you have this installed), navigate to the location of the archive.
3. Build the image from the archive, i.e. "docker build -t IMAGE - < tdt4242-webapp.tar".
4. Run the image you built using "docker run -p 3000:3000 --env production=true IMAGE"
5. Access the running instance by getting the ip (" docker inspect CONTAINER_ID | grep '"IPAddress"' | head -n 1") and connecting to this IP at port 3000 in your browser of choice.
