Dice-Roller - The DevOps Bootcamp Experience

Welcome to "Dice-Roller." This application is supplemental material to the Sketch Development Service's DevOps Bootcamp course. You will use this code along with some pre-established infrastructure to hone your skills as a DevOps Engineer.

Running the App

You will need node.js installed on your machine. With that in place, run

npm install

This will install application dependencies. Then, to start it up, run

npm start

Optional Command Line Runner

Another way to run the app by passing it command line arguments rather than relying on environment variables is to run it with the following command:

node app.js APP_PORT PGHOST PGPORT PGDATABASE PGUSER PGPASSWORD
 
# example
node app.js 8080 localhost 5432 postgres postgres abc123

• APP_PORT: the port you want the app to listen to when you run it (defaults to 3000 (i.e. http://localhost:3000))
• PGHOST: the server location of your PostgreSQL instance (typically "localhost")
• PGPORT: the port that postgres is listening on (typically 5432)
• PGDATABASE: the database on the server you are connecting to
• PGUSER: the user account to use when connecting to the server
• PGPASSWORD: the password to use when connecting to the server
