This project demonstrates how to create a real-time web application using Node.js and Socket.IO, all containerized with Docker. The application allows for real-time communication between the server and clients, making it suitable for chat applications, live notifications, and more.
- Real-Time Communication: Leverage Socket.IO for instant messaging and notifications.
- Dockerized Setup: Simplifies deployment with a consistent environment.
- Scalable Architecture: Easily extendable for more complex applications, such as chat applications or collaborative tools.
- Node.js
- Express.js
- Socket.IO
- Docker
Clone the repository, build the Docker image, and run the application to see real-time features in action. Follow the instructions in the README for setup and usage details.
- Docker installed on your machine.
- Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You can download it from nodejs.org. Docker: Install Docker to create and manage containers. You can get Docker from docker.com. Git: Git is required for cloning the repository. If you don’t have it installed, download it from git-scm.com. Basic Knowledge: Familiarity with JavaScript and Node.js concepts. Understanding of Docker and containerization fundamentals. Text Editor/IDE: A code editor such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or any IDE of your choice for modifying code and configuration files.
