Build and push docker image

Our EKS deployment consists of running containers with docker images of the care project. The images will be served from a private container registry service provided by AWS called Elastic Container Registry (ECR). To setup the repositories for your care frontend and backend images, head over to AWS ECR console and create a new repository each for the backend and frontend.

Build image

To build the docker image of the care project, first clone the repositories:

$ git clone https://github.com/coronasafe/care $ git clone https://github.com/coronasafe/care_fe

Inside the directory of the project you want to build, use the docker build command for building your required images.

Eg.: If you are in the backend folder, run $ docker build -t care:latest .

After the creation of the image, you can verify it by running $ docker images

The following branches are used for dev and production

Care Backend ( care ) :

master -> Development Branch

production -> Stable Production Branch

Care Fron End ( care_fe )

develop -> Development Branch

master -> Stable Production Branch

Always use stable production builds in production, Keep the fork in sync every 3 days.

Always merge the development branch and test before merging production.
