Project Setup and Deployment

This project consists of a Go backend and a Svelte frontend, containerized using Docker. Follow these instructions to build and run the application.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your system
• Git (optional, for cloning the repository)

Project Structure

• /backend: Go server code
• /frontend: Svelte frontend code using bun
• Dockerfile: Multi-stage build configuration

Building the Docker Image

1. Clone the repository (if not already done):

git clone <repository-url>

2. Navigate to the project root directory:

cd <project-directory>

3. Build the Docker image:

docker build -t clickety-clack .

This command creates an image named "clickety-clack" using the multi-stage Dockerfile, which:

• Builds the Svelte frontend using bun
• Compiles the Go backend using Go
• Creates a lightweight Alpine-based final image

Running the Container

Run the container with:

docker run -p 3000:3000 clickety-clack

• -p 3000:3000: Maps port 3000 on your host to port 3000 in the container
• clickety-clack: The name of the image built in the previous step

Accessing the Application

Once the container is running:

• Open your browser to http://localhost:3000
• The Go server will serve the static files from the Svelte build

Troubleshooting

If the container fails to start:

• Check that port 3000 is not in use by another process
