Build and run the service through docker

---

You can build using docker and integrate it with a database, as outlined below: pre-requisite = docker is installed in your local system. your docker image for https://github.com/cormac-larkin-kainos/Floor_Is_Java_Frontend is available locally (the web ui has a dependency on this) and running.

1. Ensure the environment variables are correct for your api or enter these as additional arguments on the docker build command.

   Run docker build --build-arg API_URL=http://localhost:8080/api/ -t your-image-name . from your src directory. This will read from your docker file, build the environment required for the image, build your service and create the image locally.

   Use docker images to verify your image is available after running the above command.

   Now run docker run -d -p 3000:3000 your-image-name, this will then spin up your image and host on the given port.

   Done....the service should be able to operate as expected.
