• For Windows, navigate to the download folder, and launch powershell and import the image as follows docker load -i docker_image_mongo.tar
• Launch a container from this image using docker run -p 3000:3000 -p 5000:5000 -p 8000:8000 --name it5007-2220 -dit it5007_tutorial:t4 bash
• Use VSCode (with Docker plugin installed) to i) start the container and ii) attach shell to the container.
• Download the skeleton code for the tutorial
  • Using Git clone:
    • cd /home
    • $ git clone https://github.com/pkarthik88/IT5007-Lecture5.git

Working on the project

• cd /home/It5007-Lecture5/ from VSCode shell and work on the problem. You can also use the File navigation to browse to the file location and open the files inside the container.
• As usual, the first step in any newly downloaded repository is to run npm install to install dependencies.
• Compilation: npm run compile
• Execution: As usual, you can run the code using npm start. This will start the express server that serves webpages to users.

Copying Files between Container and your laptop/desktop

• Copy the files over from your laptop to the docker container using the windows powershell command: docker cp <windows path where the file is present> it5007-2220:/home/
• For copying files in reverse direction, switch the file order in above command.
