Installing/Starting server

• Clone this repository.

You have now 2 choices: Running the server with Docker (This will run all services) or just only the node server with nodejs.

Running server with nodejs.

1. Make sure you have node and npm installed on your machine.
2. Navigate to the folder NodeServer/app/ with your terminal.
3. Execute this command to install all the node modules: npm i
4. Start the server with this command: node index.js

Running server with docker

1. Install docker and docker-compose on your machine.
2. Navigate to the folder NodeServer with your terminal.
3. Start the server with this command: docker-compose up -d if you want to run the container in the background or docker-compose up if you want to see the live logs (works only when you are in the same folder where the docker-compose.yaml file is located).

Extra: Docker commands

If you are using docker to run the server, here are some usefull commands:

• docker container ls - See all your running containers.
• docker attach fpnode - Watch live logs of the fpnode docker container.
• docker compose down - If you want to terminate the docker containers that are running in the background (works only when you are in the same folder where the docker-compose.yaml file is located).
• To terminate the container when you are watching the live logs, press ctrl + c.
