How to run this project

Requirements

Running with docker is highly recommended, in case you want to run this project without its help, you will need a JDK 16 installed within your system.

Option 1: Using docker-compose (recommended)

Before running any other command, keep in mind three docker images will get downloaded into your system in case you don't have them already

• adoptopenjdk:16
• redis:6.2.3-alpine
• postgres:13.3-alpine

If you're ok with that, then all you need to do is run the following command

docker-compose up -d

By default this project runs in port 8082, in any case you want to change defaults you must head to application-docker.yml and docker-compose.yml and change the configuration values related to ports.

Option 2: Building a docker image

By chosing this method only one docker image will be downloaded to your system adoptopenjdk:16, keep in mind you will need to change configuration in application-docker.yml for redis and postgresql, still you can change postgresql for any sql database of your choice, with configurations done run

docker build --tag connect-backend:latest .

Then just run a brand new container

docker run --name connect -d -p 8082:8082 connect-backend:latest

Option 3: Running with Java

You will need a JDK 16 installed your system in order to compile this code, since it will run development mode, you will need both a redis and a postgresql database in your system as well as modifing the contents of application-dev.yml contents in order to match your configurations, with that done make use of the maven gradle wrapper to compile this project.

./mvnw package spring-boot:repackage

Once compile just run

java -jar /target/connect-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 

Option 4: Running in development mode

You can achieve this easily with the integrated tools provided by modern ides or you can run this command, as for previous options having a redis and postgres servers are required aswell, as for option 3 you will need to make the respective changes on application-dev.yml

./mvnw spring-boot:run
