Docker Guide

This guide covers how to build, run, and manage Docker containers for Drone World.

Prerequisites

Before using Docker, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker: Install Docker on your system.
• Docker Compose: Installed with Docker Desktop.

Project Structure

Ensure your project structure looks like this (simplified):

backend/                # Python-based backend service
frontend/               # Node.js-based frontend service
config/
    settings.json       # Configuration file for backend
docker-compose.yml      # Docker Compose file to orchestrate the services

1. Building and Running the Containers

To build and run both services (backend and frontend):

docker compose up --build

• Frontend: http://localhost:3000
• Backend: http://localhost:5000

2. Managing Containers

• Stop all services:

docker compose down

• Check status:

docker compose ps

• View logs:

docker compose logs -f

3. Cleaning Up

Remove unused containers, images, or volumes:

• Stopped containers:

docker container prune

• Unused images:

docker image prune -a

• Unused volumes:

docker volume prune

4. Updating Containers

After making changes to the code, rebuild and restart containers:

docker compose up --build
