Docker Node.js Demo

Welcome to the Docker Node.js Demo repository for my YouTube course! This repository contains the code for a comprehensive course on Docker and Docker Compose, focusing on building and managing microservices with Node.js. The course is divided into four parts, each available on a separate branch.

Table of Contents

• Prerequisites
• Getting Started
• How to Get Part-1 Starter Code
• How to Get Part-2 Starter Code
• How to Get Part-3 Starter Code
• How to Get Part-4 Starter Code
• Contributing
• License

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

• Node.js: Ensure you have the latest version of Node.js installed. You can download it from nodejs.org.
• IDE: Preferably Visual Studio Code, which you can download from code.visualstudio.com.
• Terminal: A Unix-based terminal (e.g., macOS Terminal, Git Bash, or WSL for Windows users).

Getting Started

First, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone [email protected]:chrisblakely01/docker-nodejs-demo.git
cd docker-nodejs-demo

How to Get Part-1 Starter Code

To get the starter code for Part-1, switch to the part-1 branch:

git checkout part-1
npm i

This branch contains the initial setup for the course, including creating Docker images and containers.

How to Get Part-2 Starter Code

To get the starter code for Part-2, switch to the part-2 branch:

git checkout part-2
npm i

This branch builds on Part-1 and covers using Docker Compose to manage multiple containers.

How to Get Part-3 Starter Code

To get the starter code for Part-3, switch to the part-3 branch:

git checkout part-3
npm i

In this part, you will learn about running Nginx and setting up networking between containers.

How to Get Part-4 Starter Code

To get the starter code for Part-4, switch to the part-4 branch:

git checkout part-4
npm i

This final part includes managing databases within Docker and advanced networking concepts.
