Setup.md

Prerequisites

• Install Vapor
• Install Docker
• Install/Have Swift

Create a new Vapor Project & move into that folder

$ vapor new [project name]
$ cd [project name]

Copy Makefile and Dockerfile into the project directory

Run make docker

To see server logs run make docker-debug. Note that command fails if a docker image isn't currently running because it attempts to remove currently running image under the same name. Why? I was running into the problem of the port already being bound and adding the --rm flag to the docker run command didn't seem to help so I just used the suggestion to rm all running containers to fix it. However if no containers are running it fails. ¯\(ツ)/¯ not enough of a problem for me to really care and fix it yet.
