Swarm REST API

Welcome to the Swarm REST API project. This is a Spring Web application that serves as a backend REST API.

Requirements:

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

Docker is installed on your machine. Docker will handle the Java and Gradle dependencies for you, so there's no need to install them separately. If you don't have Docker installed, please follow the installation guide for Docker.

Clone The Repository Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the source repository:

git clone https://github.com/LittleTechBookClub/swarm-rest-api.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd swarm-rest-api

Start the Application with Docker Compose Run the following command to build and start the application along with any necessary services:

docker-compose up

Note for Linux users: Depending on your Docker setup, you might need to prepend sudo to the above command:

sudo docker-compose up

Accessing The Application* You should be able to curl or check this url in browser: http://localhost:8080 and see "Hello Swarm!"

To stop and remove the containers, use the following command:

docker-compose down

Linux Users If you used sudo to start the application, make sure to use it here as well.

For Mac users: As with starting the application, there is typically no need to use sudo.
