Setup

Prerequirements

  • We need a virtual machine with at least 3 GB of RAM to run the server smoothly.
  • We will need code from the code_backend.zip file, as it contains the Dockerfile.
  • The machine must have the port 8000 exposed to the internet, for HTTP requests.

Software needed

  • Docker must be installed on the computer for it to function properly. Instructions to install docker can be found here.

Building and running the docker image 

sudo docker build -t optiparse .
sudo docker run -p 8000:8000 -d optiparse
