This project uses Docker-Compose to orchestrate a ToDo list application that encompasses several microservices. The architecture consists of backend servers, a socket server, a database, Redis, a frontend, an Nginx proxy, and phpMyAdmin.

• ./server - Source code for the backend servers.
• ./socket-server - Source code for the socket servers.
• ./db - Dockerfile and configuration for the MySQL database.
• ./frontend - Source code for the frontend.
• ./nginx - Nginx configuration.

• server-1: Backend servers that handle requests and access MySQL.
• socket-server-1: Socket.IO server for real-time communication.
• todolistdb: MySQL database for the application.
• phpmyadmin: Web interface for managing the MySQL database.
• frontend: Frontend application.
• nginx: Nginx proxy that forwards requests to the backend servers and frontend.
• redis: Redis database for real-time data storage.

• Docker and Docker Compose must be installed.

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/JonasPfi/SynchronizedDistributedTodoList.git

2. Create .env File

   Copy the .env.example file and adjust the values for your environment:

   cp .env.example .env

3. Start Docker Containers

   Start the Docker containers in the background:

   docker-compose up -d

4. Check

   • phpMyAdmin: http://localhost:8085
   • Nginx: http://localhost:80

5. View Logs

   To view the logs of a specific container:

   docker-compose logs <SERVICE_NAME>

   Example:

   docker-compose logs frontend

6. Stop Containers

   To stop and remove all containers:

   docker-compose down

The .env file contains the following variables:

• MYSQL_DATABASE - Name of the MySQL database.
• MYSQL_USER - Username for the MySQL database.
• MYSQL_PASSWORD - Password for the MySQL database.
• MYSQL_HOSTNAME - Hostname for the MySQL database.
• FRONTEND_PORT - Port for the frontend.
• FRONTEND_URL - URL for the frontend.
• SERVER_PORT - Port for the backend servers.
• SERVER_URL - URL for the backend servers.
• SOCKET_IO_PORT - Port for the Socket.IO servers.
• SOCKET_IO_URL - URL for the Socket.IO servers.
• VITE_NGINX_URL - URL for Nginx.
• REDIS_PORT - Port for Redis.

Ports may need to be adjusted in the docker-compose.yaml & nginx.conf files!
