Build docker image for chat-e2ee

We have provided a Dockerfile which can be used to set-up the entire system with a single command.

Requirements

1. Docker compatible operating System.
2. Docker CE 18.0 +
3. MongoDB
4. Recaptcha 2.0 account with client and server keys

Building the docker image

From the project root directory, issue the following command : You need to provide the client side recaptcha-key as a build time argument.

docker build . -f docker/Dockerfile --build-arg recaptcha_client_key=<your_client_recaptcha_key> -t chat-e2e:latest

Running the docker container

1. Create a .env file Create a new .env file which exports Mongo DB URI and secret keys, it will contain following ENV variables.

GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SECRET=''
MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0-zbsik.mongodb.net
MONGO_DB_NAME=''
CHAT_LINK_DOMAIN=''
IMAGE_BB_API_KEY=''

2. Run the container by passing the env files

Run with host networking mode.

docker run --rm  --net=host --env-file <your_env_file> chat_e2e:latest

You can now open http://<your-ip>:3001 in your browser.

Using Docker-compose

With docker-compose you can run the app as a complete package that includes mongodb as well. To run the app using docker-compose, first create a .env file with following variables:

MONGO_USERNAME=
MONGO_PASSWORD=
MONGO_PORT=27017
GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SECRET=
MONGO_DB_NAME=
CHAT_LINK_DOMAIN=
IMAGE_BB_API_KEY=

Here GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SECRET is the server key. You can also edit .env.docker.sample and rename it as .env. Now, run the docker-compose build

docker-compose build --build-arg recaptcha_client_key=<client_recaptcha_key>

Once the build completes, run the docker-compose file :

docker-compose up

You will see two services up and running. Now go to localhost:3001 to use the app.
