Documentation how to use Docker-Compose

[DenisCarriere]

Try out the new docker-compose set up and see if you have any issues setting up the server.

Should be as easy as:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up

Updated the README.md with these instructions.

Works!

1 thing though and I think it's a config issue on my end. I added NODE_ENV=development to my .env file. It was running as production.

Otherwise this is great.

@DenisCarriere Are we still using SSL? This is important in production because iOS won't make http requests to unsecure hosts.

EDIT: Just saw the heroku app is SSL. 👌

Only thing I changed that might do that is if you don't provider DB_USER then it fallbacks to MongoDB development (https://github.com/YOWCT/pothole_webserver/blob/master/models/db.js#L11)

Yes, everything will be over SSL / HTTP2, however all that stuff should be handled on the server using Nginx + Letsencrypt.

Here's a server we've hosted with this set up:

Nginx Configurations

Next Meetup/get together we can talk about this set up.

In a nutshell, your web server simple needs to host over localhost on a specific port and Nginx does all the SSL handling.

Ok, I have set up nginx and letsencrypt before. It's running here. https://ott311.esdev.xyz but certificate is expired lol.

[DenisCarriere]

Lol! :P certificate expiring is always fun.

I usually set up a shell script that updates LetsEncrypt as a cronjob.

/root/autorenew.sh

#!/bin/bash
service nginx stop
/root/certbot/certbot-auto renew
service nginx start

/etc/crontab

10 6    * * *   root    /root/autorenew.sh >> /var/log/autorenew.log
