Rayagate Challenge

This project is a full-stack application built with a Laravel API, a Nuxt.js frontend, and an Nginx reverse proxy. It is containerized using Docker for easy deployment and scalability.

Project Structure

• API: A Laravel backend that provides a REST API.
• Client: A Nuxt.js frontend that communicates with the Laravel API.
• Nginx: A reverse proxy that handles routing requests to the appropriate services (API or Client).

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup

Clone the Repository

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/omarMohamedo-o/docker_rayagate_challenge.git
cd <repository-folder>

Configure SSL Certificates

Ensure you have valid SSL certificates. The nginx/certs/ folder should contain the following files:

• self.crt: Your SSL certificate.
• self.key: Your SSL private key.

For development, you can generate self-signed certificates.

Environment Configuration

Make sure to configure the environment variables for your Laravel API and MySQL database in the docker-compose.yml file under the api service. The default values should be suitable for a local development environment.

Build and Start the Containers

Run the following command to build and start all services (API, Client, MySQL, Nginx):

docker-compose up --build
