2. Environment Setup

  1. Install docker: https://www.docker.com
  2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing this README.md file.
  3. Build the docker image: docker build -t 15-441/641-project-1:latest -f ./DockerFile .
  4. Run the docker container: docker run -it -v `pwd`:/home/project-1/ --name <name for your container> 15-441/641-project-1 /bin/bash
  5. The starter code for the project is available at /home/project-1/ in the container and . on your local machine. To make development easier, a mapping is established between these two folders. Modiying the code in one location will also effect the other one. This means that you can use an IDE to write code on your local machine and then seamlessly test it in the container.
  6. To test your server using a web browser, you need to configure port mapping for the docker container. Simply add the argument -p 8888:15441 to the docker run command to establish a mapping from 127.0.0.1:15441 in the container to 127.0.0.1:8888 on your local machine. Then you can test your server by using a web browser (e.g., Chrome) on your local machine to navigate to the URL 127.0.0.1:8888.
