Docker and Deployment Commands

Dockerize

To deploy an Angular website using Docker, follow these steps:

Steps

Create a Dockerfile in the root of your Angular project.

# Stage 1: Build the Angular application
FROM node:20.5.1 as node
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN npm install --force
RUN npm run build --prod

# Stage 2: Serve the application using Nginx
FROM nginx:alpine
COPY --from=node /app/angular-web /usr/share/nginx/html
# Build the docker container
docker build -t my-angular-web-app .
# Run the docker container now
docker run -d -p 80:80 my-angular-app

Deploying Using WinSCP and PuTTY

I currently use WinSCP for file transfer and PuTTY for running commands. Here's how you can do it:

Transfer Files with WinSCP

WinSCP is a tool that lets you transfer files between your computer and a remote server.

  1. Download and Install WinSCP:

  2. Connect to Your Server:

    • Open WinSCP and enter your server's hostname (or IP address), username, and password.
    • Make sure to use the default SFTP protocol.
    • Also PPK (PuTTY Private Key) is mandatory.

  3. Transfer Your Files:

    • On the left side of WinSCP, you'll see your local files. On the right side, you'll see your server files.
    • After creating .tar, file we drag the file into our remote server.

Run Commands with PuTTY

PuTTY is a tool that lets you remotely access your server's command line interface.

  1. Download and Install PuTTY:

  2. Connect to Your Server:

    • Open PuTTY and enter your server's hostname (or IP address) and port (usually 22).
    • Click "Open" to start the session.
    • Log in with your username and password.

Kill the running processes

# view the running processes
docker ps
# stop the desired container
docker stop -p containerId

Kill the running images

# First, view the running images
docker images
# Next, stop the desired image container id:
docker rmi containerId # -f if it does not let you remove it.

Load the tar, unextract it and deploy

# load the tar
docker load -i /path/to/my-image.tar
# run the desired container
docker run -dp  80:80 project my-image .

Creating build for React Native

Navigate to android directory.

# first clean
./gradlew clean
# then create apk
./gradlew assembleRelease

The APK will now be created at android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/*.apk

Add more commands as soon as I find something that's really important.
