• Return a successful HTTP response
• Connect to Postgres
• Configure Env vars

Building Locally (outside of Docker)

export $(grep -v '^#' .env.example | xargs -d '\n')
nimble build
./minimal_nim_container

Building with Docker

docker build -t minimal_nim_container .
docker run --env-file=.env.example --rm -i -p 8080:80 -p 5432:5432 -t minimal_nim_container

Open up a shell inside the container

docker run --env-file=.env.example --rm -i -t minimal_nim_container sh

GCP

Deploying to Google Cloud Container Registry

gcloud auth configure-docker
docker tag minimal_nim_container gcr.io/concise-mesh/minimal_nim_container
docker push gcr.io/concise-mesh/minimal_nim_container

Export image to deploy somewhere

Dump the image

docker save -o minimal_nim_container.tar 40d3f6d75b28
