docker-chat

Dockerized chat, based on my previous project SocketIOChatDemo, which is an example of a web application using socket.io library.

Following the Microservices architecture, the system consists on two services that run in separate containers:

• Web service: node.js server. Using the official node image.
• Database service: MongoDB database. Using the official mongo image.
