Usage & Deployment

To deploy our system locally using Docker, follow these steps:

1. Clone Repositories: Clone all the service repositories from GitHub to your local machine. Ensure that you have Git installed and configured.

2. Install Docker: If you haven't already, install Docker on your system. You can download and install Docker Desktop from the official Docker website.

3. Create Docker Network: Create a Docker network to enable communication between the services. Run the following command in your terminal:

   docker network create my_network

   This command will create a Docker network named my_network.

4. Compose Services: Navigate to each service directory and use Docker Compose to bring up the services. Run the following command in each service directory:

   docker-compose up -d

   This command will start the service containers in detached mode, allowing them to run in the background.

5. Verify Deployment: Once all services are up and running, you can verify the deployment by accessing the respective endpoints or by interacting with the system through the provided interfaces.
