TLDR; Dockerization of the FOSSTrak application will modernize the
deployment process, improve development efficiency, and enhance
the application's scalability and portability. This feature request aims
to leverage containerization technology to optimize the application's
lifecycle management and support DevOps best practices within the
project.
Feature Description
Implement Dockerization for the FOSSTrak application to improve deployment, scalability, and portability.
Use Case
Dockerization will enable the application to be packaged into lightweight, portable containers, facilitating consistent deployment across different environments (development, testing, production). This will streamline the setup process for new developers and ensure consistent behavior of the application across various platforms.
Proposed Solution
Dockerfile Creation: Develop a Dockerfile to define the environment and dependencies required for running the FOSSTrak application.
Containerization of Services: Containerize the application services (e.g., backend server, frontend client) into separate Docker containers, ensuring modularity and encapsulation.
Configuration Management: Utilize Docker Compose to manage multiple container services and their configurations, simplifying the deployment process.
Environment Variables: Implement environment variables within Docker containers to enable configurable behavior based on deployment environments.
Integration with CI/CD Pipeline: Integrate Dockerization into the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to automate build, test, and deployment processes.
Documentation and Guidelines: Provide comprehensive documentation and guidelines for developers on how to use Docker for local development and deployment.
