# if you do not have NodeJS installed
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nodejs npm

🔧 Build

📈 Production

This project uses Docker 🐳 for production set-up

docker-compose became deprecated within latest versions of Ubuntu and some python packages have became deprecated

> Jump to Latest Docker Compose

sudo apt update && sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose

The following commands will build the docker via compose which builds the multi-docker system. You will need to move the .env into the project root folder before running the following:

docker network create traefik
docker-compose --env-file .env -p khi -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build

How to use docker compose on latest Ubuntu installs:

• Follow install instructions from Install Documentation

If the command docker compose version does not work go to the releases page and find correct version

curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.39.2/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose

Prepare and run Docker container

docker compose --env-file .env -p khi -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build
