Run the specs! Demo!

Pre-requisites

The following are necessary to run the application:

• Docker Toolbox 1.9, with Docker-machine and Docker-compose
• Node.js (4.x or 5.x recommended)

Building the container

In order to build the container, first install the needed NPM dependencies for the Node.js backend:

npm install

Then, create a Docker node with docker-machine:

docker-machine create -d virtualbox dev
eval $(docker-machine env dev)

Finally, build the container:

docker build -t backend .

Running with MongoDB

There's a ready-made Compose file available that will run the application together with Mongo:

docker-compose up

Accessing the application

Run the following command to obtain the IP address of the docker-machine host:

docker-machine ip dev

Then, point the application to port 8080 of the given IP address.
