With Docker and Kubernetes

1. Follow the steps to run with Docker

2. From the src directory run docker-compose build

3. Set the environment variables:

   export DOCKER_USER=localuser
   export BUILD_VERSION=0.0.0

4. Run the following command:

   docker stack deploy --orchestrator kubernetes --compose-file ./docker-compose.yml rtcstack

5. To see your services and pods running, run:

   kubectl get services
   kubectl get pods

6. Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost to see the application running

7. To shutdown / remove stack, run: kubectl delete stack rtcstack

   dotnet run -p Adaptive.ReactiveTrader.Server.Launcher --populate-eventstore

5. Start the .NET services:

   cd src/server/dotNet
   dotnet run -p Adaptive.ReactiveTrader.Server.Launcher all

   To run individual services, cd into their folder, and type dotnet run.

6. (Optional) Start Node services by running npm run start:dev from their respective folders, e.g.:

   cd src/server/node/priceHistory
   npm install
   npm run start:dev

7. Start the client against the local services:

   cd src/client
   npm install
   npm run start:local-backend

8. Alternative commands:

   • npm run build:demo-backend - to run the client against a demo backend running in the cloud
   • npm run test - to run tests using Jest
