An example of two containers running both a client and server, continuously sending ping and pong to each other.

docker-compose build

docker-compose up -d

Start service foo and bar.

docker-compose log -f foo

Follow logs for service foo.

docker-compose log -f bar

docker-compose down

For convenience there are a couple of npm scripts that can be used:

npm run build

npm run build -- --no-cache

Build service without using cache.

npm run logs:foo

Follow logs for service foo.

npm run logs:bar

Follow logs for service bar.

npm run exec:foo

npm run exec:bar

Run a shell in bar.

npm up

npm down

Environment variables can be added to a .env file.
