Running a Local Development Web Server

To debug code and run tests, it is often useful to have a local HTTP server. For the purpose of further deploying the project on AWS, we have made available a local web server with a dockerized code-server.

1. Generate a local Docker Image a. Build from Dockerfile in the root directory

   docker build -t winoooops/websvf-docker . 
   

   b. Download from DockerHub

   sudo docker pull winoooops/websvf-docker
   

2. Verify the Docker Image exists locally

   # You should see the local repository named winoooops/websvf-docker .
   docker images -a 
   

3. To start the web server, run

   docker run -p 8080:8080 --name websvf winoooops/websvf-docker
   

4. To access the local server, enter the following URL into your web browser:

   http://0.0.0.0:8080
