How to Configure the Project

Setting Up the Database

Paste the connection string we've sent you over Discord, or set up your own database using Mongo Atlas and copy your connection string into a .env file in the web-app folder with the following format:

MONGO_URI=[your connection string]
MONGO_DBNAME=movie_db

Setting Up the Web App

Build the web app image from the Dockerfile. While in the outermost 5-Final-Yippee directory:

docker build . -t web-app -f web-app/Dockerfile

Now that you have the web-app image (check by running docker images and it should appear in the list), instantiate a new container called webapp:

docker run --name webapp -d -p 5000:5000 web-app

How to Set up Environment Variables

Necessary .env variables for connection to the Mongo database have been described above.
