Docker Setup

The docker setup is much slower than bare metal, but so long as you have docker installed and running, it should (🫰) startup with relative ease. Since all of the workspaces share all the same Cargo.lock file, some effort has been put in to optimizing the projects build structure. Because of this, the docker compose setup needs two make commands to be run first, and in a specific order.

ℹ Please be patient while running these commands, as they can take several minutes

1. make base ← Creates the base Varlog docker image and tags it as varlog/base.
2. make build ← Builds the varlog/registry, varlog/server, and varlog/app containers.

Once these containers have been built, you can run the make up command, which will start the network of compose containers. After docker has finished starting these containers, then run make ps to see the running containers. If there are 5 Varlog containers, then congratulations 🎉 you can now visit the UI at localhost:8000.
