This is my Docker-Compose template

• Under docker-compose.yaml change my_database to the name of the database you want to create Line 9 - POSTGRES_DB=my_database Line 27 - DB_CONNECTION_STRING=postgresql://postgres:docker@db:5432/my_database

• In ./api/.env change my_database to the name of the database you want to create as well. - DB_CONNECTION_STRING=postgresql://postgres:docker@db:5432/my_database

• All other ports and DockerFiles should be configured for 3000:3000 for the ui(frontend) and 8080:8080 for the api(backend). The database will be hosted on the default 5432:5432

First step before running

Open docker-desktop in the background
    
    (Windows Users)
    -Navigate to settings
        - Navigate to resources, then WSL integration
        - Ensure the Enable checkbox is selected and your terminal is selected as well.


In the VS Code terminal:
    - CD into the api folder and run 'npm install'
    - CD into the ui folder and run 'npm install'

After running npm install for each endpoint, in the terminal CD back to mydockertemplate and do the following:

    1. ` docker-compose up --build `
        
(If you run into the issue of already having a container with this name follow directions below)
        # The container name "/db" is already in use by container "---------------------------------------". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.

            - In the terminal press Lctrl+C
                - Paste 'docker container rm <Container Name> (Container Name should be the container that is being hosted on the same port)
                (This should resolve your container issues)
                OR
                - Navigate to docker-compose.yaml and change the container name on line 4

The application should be up and running

To close down the application in VS Code terminal
    1. ` docker-compose down `

-Please read each ReadMe under each endpoint for additional information on making changes to the front/back end of your application.
