Then you can create and run a container with :

docker run -d --name chattin-client -p 80:80 chattin-client

Run in a Docker container with Docker-Compose

First, you need to build the Docker image with :

docker build . -t chattin-client

Then write in a docker-compose.yml file :

version: "3.6"

services:
  chattin-client:
    image: chattin-client
    ports:
      - 80:80

If you have built the server Docker image, you can add it as well :

version: "3.6"

services:
  chattin-client:
    image: chattin-client
    ports:
      - 80:80

  chattin-server:
    image: chattin-server
    volumes:
      - /path/to/cert:/chattin-server/ssl/cert
      - /path/to/key:/chattin-server/ssl/key
    environment:
      - ADDRESS=:2727
      - SSL_CERT=/chattin-server/ssl/cert
      - SSL_KEY=/chattin-server/ssl/key
      - POSTGRES_ADDRESS=postgres:5432

      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ch4ng3_m3
      - POSTGRES_DATABASE=chattin
    ports:
      - 2727:2727
    depends_on:

    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ch4ng3_m3
      - POSTGRES_DB=chattin

After configuring your docker-compose.yml file, create and start containers with :
