Get Started With Docker

• install Docker Desktop
• Set up network for container-to-container communication:
  • docker network create sensor_server --driver bridge
  • docker network inspect sensor_server
• run redis connected to previously made network and listening to default port. "redis-stack" is the name of server on bridge. "-p 8001:8001" is the port for redis insights, which you can browse to in the browser.
  • docker run -d --name redis-stack -p 0.0.0.0:6379:6379 -p 8001:8001 --network redis_server redis/redis-stack:latest
  • This isn't used by this project atm
• run this SBT project in docker (sbt has built in docker plugin)
  • sbt docker:publishLocal
  • docker run --rm -p 9000:9000 --network sensor_server sensor-generator
• now that we have a dockerfile, we can do
  • docker build -t sensor-generator .
  • docker run --rm -p 9001:9000 --network sensor_server --name sensor-generator sensor-generator
  • This will listen on port 9001, connect to the sensor_server network, and name the containor sensor-generator
• Run this and the sensor-service, then hit the health endpoint and this will start posting sensor events to the sensor-service
