My Website

This is the source code for my Go-based website. It's dockerized for easy setup and deployment.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• You have installed Docker on your machine. Get Docker

Running the Application with Docker

Follow these steps to run the application using Docker:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

First, clone this repository to your local machine:

bashCopy code

git clone https://github.com/mvavassori/my-website.git cd my-website

Step 2: Build the Docker Image

Build the Docker image using the following command:

bashCopy code

docker build -t my-website .

This command builds a Docker image named my-website based on the instructions in the Dockerfile.

Step 3: Run the Docker Container

Now, you can run your application in a Docker container.

If you have a .env file with environment variables:

bashCopy code

docker run --env-file .env -p 8080:8080 my-website

If you don't have a .env file, simply run:

bashCopy code

docker run -p 8080:8080 my-website

These commands start a Docker container based on the my-website image. The -p 8080:8080 option maps port 8080 of the container to port 8080 on your host machine, making the application accessible via http://localhost:8080.

Step 4: Accessing the Application

Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080 to access the application.

Stopping the Application

To stop the Docker container, you can press CTRL+C in the terminal if you're running it in the foreground. If it's running in the background, use:

bashCopy code

docker ps

to find the container ID and then:

bashCopy code

docker stop [container_id]

to stop it.

Additional Information

• Ensure you have the latest version of Docker installed for a smooth experience.
• For any additional configuration or environment-specific setups, refer to the application's main documentation or contact the development team.
