Running Locally

1. Run yarn to install dependencies.
2. Then run yarn start to start the app.
3. Load http://localhost:3001 in your browser.

Deployments

Docker

1. Ensure the /.build.sh file is executable via chmod +x ./build.sh.
2. Build the docker image by executing ./build.sh.
3. Run SECURITY_TOKEN_SECRET='security secret' docker run -d -p 80:3001 -e SECURITY_TOKEN_SECRET universal-react-app to run the container. Run the container while connected to a remote docker-machine such as digital ocean to deploy.

• SECURITY_TOKEN_SECRET is used to create JSON web tokens for authenticating users. DO NOT forget to set this for production deployments.
