Dockerizing Node, Express, Mongodb, Redis and nginx Application

This project is based on the video tutorial by Sanjeev Thiyagarajan available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zUHg7xjIqQ, where he demonstrates how to Dockerize a Node, Express, MongoDB, Redis, and nginx application. Follow Sanjeev: https://www.youtube.com/@SanjeevThiyagarajan

Technologies used

The project is built using the following technologies:

• NodeJS
• ExpressJS
• MongoDB
• Redis
• nginx
• Docker

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes using Docker.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following installed on your system:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Installing

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/[your-username]/[repository-name].git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd [repository-name]

3. Build the Docker images:

docker-compose build

4. Start the Docker containers:

docker-compose up

The application will now be running at http://localhost:3000.

Built With

• NodeJS - JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine
• ExpressJS - Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js
• MongoDB - Cross-platform document-oriented database program
• Redis - In-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker
• nginx - High-performance HTTP server, reverse proxy, and IMAP/POP3 proxy server
