Docker Compose Tutorial

This repository shows a simple demonstration of configuring docker compose service using nodejs app and nginx as reverse proxy.

Test nodejs app

To test the nodejs application, open the terminal and go to the app directory and run index.js file.

cd ~/app
node index.js

A nodejs server will be initialized at http://localhost:5000

This tool will allow us to start multiple containers with single command. To initiate the containers run following command:

Linux (Ubuntu) sudo docker-compose up --build

Windows docker compose up --build

This should start your application at http://localhost:80.
