README.md

This project includes project ktor-demo-app-base as a common base.

Create and publish container image app-a:

1. Run gradlew clean build.
2. Run docker build -t "ktor-demo-app-a:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-ejcio" ..
3. Run docker run -d -p 8123:8123 -p 48123:48123 ktor-demo-app-a:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-ejcio.
4. Verify working via browser: http://localhost:8123 and/or http://localhost:8123/json/gson.
5. Tag the remote repository: docker tag ktor-demo-app-a:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-ejcio joramnv/ktor-demo-app-a:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-ejcio.
6. Push the image to the remote repository: docker push joramnv/ktor-demo-app-a:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-ejcio <-- in this case it is my(!) public repo. (Use your own repo. You can also choose to make a private repo namespace first via the docker hub website.)

Local development:

Prerequisites:

• JDK 11
• Dapr CLI (Install if you haven’t already: https://docs.dapr.io/getting-started/install-dapr-cli/ )
• Docker

Running the Dapr sidecar locally can be done through: (Prerequisite is that you've run dapr init on your machine.)

dapr run --components-path ./secrets --app-id app-a --app-port 48123 --app-protocol grpc --dapr-http-port 3500 --dapr-grpc-port 50001

• Note - In order for the secrets to load correctly, it is important to start the Dapr sidecar first.
• Note - I had some issues where locally Dapr could not find app-b from app-a and visa versa. I was connected to a VPN, when I turned off the VPN Dapr was functioning as normal again.

Running app-a locally can be done through: gradlew run
