Ticker Server and Client

This project contains a server (TickerServer) and a client (TickerClient) that communicate over TCP using the Boost.Asio library. The server generates a stream of asset prices and sends them to the client.

Building the Project

Server

To build and run the server, navigate to the Server/ directory and use the following commands:

docker build -t tickerserver -f Dockerfile .
docker run -p 1234:1234 -d tickerserver

This will build a Docker image for the server and run it in a new container. The server listens for connections on port 1234.

Client

To build and run the client, navigate to the Client/ directory and use the following commands:

docker build -t tickerclient -f Dockerfile .
docker run -d tickerclient

This will build a Docker image for the client and run it in a new container. The client connects to the server at the IP address specified in TickerClient.cpp.

Note

The client and server are designed to run on the same machine. If you want to run them on different machines, you need to update the IP address in TickerClient.cpp to the IP address of the machine running the server.
