MyCMS

MyCMS is a Content Management System (CMS) project designed to provide a flexible and customizable platform for managing web content. This README provides instructions on how to set up and deploy MyCMS using Docker Compose.

Demo

Below is a demonstration of MyCMS in action:

Features

• Back-end server: Node.js based server for managing CMS functionality.
• Front-end server: React.js based server for the user interface.
• Caddy Web Server: Acts as a reverse proxy and provides HTTPS support.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Getting Started

1. Clone the MyCMS repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the root directory of the project.

Configuration

Before running the project, you need to set up the environment variables. You can do this by creating a .env file in the root directory of the project and adding the following variables:

NODE_ENV=development
DB_STRING=<your_database_connection_string>
DB_STRING_PROD=<your_production_database_connection_string>
PORT=<server_port>
SERVER_URL=<server_url>
EMAIL_SERVICE=<email_service_provider>
EMAIL_USERNAME=<email_username>
EMAIL_PASSWORD=<email_password>

Replace the placeholders with your actual configurations.

Docker Compose

The docker-compose.yml file provided in the repository orchestrates the deployment of the back-end, front-end, and Caddy web server.

version: "3.9"

services:
  # CMS back-end server
  cms_back:
    build: ./cms_back
    environment:
      NODE_ENV: ${NODE_ENV}
      DB_STRING: ${DB_STRING}
      DB_STRING_PROD: ${DB_STRING_PROD}
      PORT: ${PORT}
      SERVER_URL: ${SERVER_URL}
      EMAIL_SERVICE: ${EMAIL_SERVICE}
      EMAIL_USERNAME: ${EMAIL_USERNAME}
      EMAIL_PASSWORD: ${EMAIL_PASSWORD}
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - caddy-net

  # CMS front-end server
  cms_front:
    build: ./cms_front
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - caddy-net

  # Caddy as a webserver
  caddy:
    image: caddy
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    networks:
      - caddy-net
    volumes:
      - ./caddy/data/:/data/
      - ./caddy/config/:/config/
      - ./caddy/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile

networks:
  caddy-net:

To start the application, run the following command in the root directory of the project:

docker-compose up -d

This will build and start the containers defined in the docker-compose.yml file in detached mode.
