Prerequisites

Windows

For executing on Windows Systems it is necessary to install beforehand an X11 Server, we advise VcXsrv Windows X Server that can be found at the following link, as well as Docker Desktop at the following link.

If when opening Docker Desktop should appear an error mentioning WSL open the command prompt and type:

wsl --update

The following are the preliminary steps for executing only for Windows Systems.

  1. After having installed VcXsrv proceed to open with XLaunch
  2. Select Multiple Windows and specify 1 as Display number
  3. Select Start no client
  4. Ensure that Disable access control is checked
  5. Click Finish
  6. Open Docker Desktop
  7. Proceed with the instruction for the launch with Docker Compose specified below.

Linux

For executing on Linux Systems it is just necessary to install Docker Engine by following the guide for your distro at the following link. (ATTENTION Currently this version only work by using Docker Engine with sudo command and is not compatible with Docker Desktop for linux systems.)

The following are the preliminary steps for executing only for Linux Systems after having installed Docker Engine.

  1. Open the terminal (Restart it if is the same terminal from which you have just installed Docker engine) and type:. 
    xhost +local:docker
  2. Proceed with the instruction for the launch with Docker Compose specified below.

MacOs

For executing on MacOs Systems is necessary to install both an X11 server, we advise XQuartz downloadable from the following link and Docker Desktop, downloadable from the following link.

(DISCLAIMER: Currently on Apple Silicon Processors the software may present some slow down due to the translation layer from x64 to ARM.)

  1. After having installed XQuartz proceed to open it.
  2. Open a terminal and type: 
       xhost +local:docker
   xhost + 127.0.0.1
  3. Open the docker-compose.yml and comment the following line: ```bash
    • DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-host.docker.internal:1} ```
  4. And remove the comment from the following line: 
       # - DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0
  5. Proceed with the instruction for the launch with Docker Compose specified below.

Launch

Download the Docker Compose file here.

Launch all the containers required to run the application inside the directory where the compose file has been downloaded:

docker compose up -d

Stop all the containers of the application:

docker compose down

If the application is correctly deployed, it can be run by default at the link http://localhost:3000/.
