3. Delete Account
4. Edit Profile
5. Choose a cover photo and profile photo
6. Send friend requests and receive requests
7. Follow and unfollow users

In order to run the project, you will need to create 4 Docker images:

1. Webserver1 which listens on port 8080.
2. Webserver2 which listens on port 8081.
3. HAProxy’s image which listens on port 80 (Load Balancer).
4. UserApp image to create an instance from the UserApp microservice.

After you create the 4 Docker images, you will be ready to run the project using the $ docker-compose up command.

1. Navigate to the project’s backend directory.

Create Webserver 1 Docker image

$ docker build -t facebook-replica-webserver1 . -f Webserver1.Dockerfile

Create Webserver 2 Docker image

$ docker build -t facebook-replica-webserver2 . -f Webserver2.Dockerfile

Create HAProxy Docker image

$ docker build -t facebook-replica-loadbalancer . -f HAProxy.Dockerfile

Create UserApp Docker image

$ docker build -t facebook-replica-userapp . -f UserApp.Dockerfile

2. Run the docker-compose.yml file

$ docker-compose up --build

You will now be able to send and receive HTTP requests through postman on: http://<docker-ip>:80

The following command gets the docker IP address

$ docker-machine ip default

Note: The default docker IP address is 192.168.99.100

The databases contain dummy insertions so that you can test easily.
