MERN on DOcker

Objective

To learn how to dockerize a MERN app and ensure their communication

Added the nginx and exposed the frontend

Now everything works smoothly.
This is just the begining.
I will make a complex version.

You can see all my learnings at

Learnings

Everything which needed attention is written here.
Feel free to ask, suggest or comment anything about this project in the issues

This is mainly for learning

I am leaving it as it is for now.
It will work as a reference for me and my juniors.

No discrimination even Seniors can read and be benifited LOL ; )

Advantage of this project

You may want to use it as a base for your full stack project.
With this project you can skip the DevOPS part.

I know learning is important. But it takes effort and time
Its a quickle which will get you going.

Changes You Might Need

• Changing the database and the MONGO_URI in the docker-compose.yaml
• You may want to change the ports in the docker-compose.yaml or the nginx/default.conf
• Thats it and its ready to build quick and ensure the connectivity.
• You may want to change the MONGO_URI and add the db at the end of the url.

SETUP

DOCKER WAY

1. Clone this repo
   git clone https://github.com/OAtulA/Mern-on-docker.git

2. Go to the root directory and run docker-compose up --build
   or if you have the latest docker it's now docker compose up --build

3. Go to http://localhost:3050

but ensure you have at least this much space.
I mean even if you run it on a 16GB pendrive Linux live USB. It will work.
