PDF Microservice

Docker for development

1. Download docker here: https://www.docker.com/get-started
2. Once it is installed go to the project directory
3. Run docker build -t pdf-microservice . This will build the docker image.
4. Run docker images and it will list the image you just built
5. Run docker run -d -p ${PORT_YOU_WANT}:80 -i -t ${IMAGE_ID}

Now everything should be running and you can go to `localhost:${PORT_YOU_WANT}?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com to interact with the api and get a pdf buffer of google's homepage

If you want to log into the docker container to do some bashjitsu:

1. Run docker ps
2. Run docker exec -it ${CONTAINER_ID} /bin/bash
3. Profit! You are in bash.
