VolunteerHub

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Homebrew installed on your macOS. If not, install it using:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Installation

1. Install Podman:

   brew install podman

2. Install Podman Compose:

   brew install podman-compose

3. Initialize Podman (if running for the first time):

   podman machine init
   podman machine start

Building and Starting the App

Use Podman Compose to build and start the app:

podman compose -f ./docker-compose.yml -p volunteerhub up -d --build

This will:

• Build the necessary images
• Start the app in detached mode (-d)

If you have already built the containers and just need to start them, run:

podman compose -f ./docker-compose.yml -p volunteerhub up -d

Once the app is running, you can access it at:

🔗 http://localhost:8080

Managing Containers

• Stop the app:

  podman compose -f ./docker-compose.yml -p volunteerhub down

• Restart the app:

  podman compose -f ./docker-compose.yml -p volunteerhub up -d

• Check running containers:

  podman ps

• View logs:

  podman logs -f <container_name>

Notes

• Replace <container_name> with the actual container name (check podman ps).

• If you run into networking issues, you may need to restart the Podman machine:

  podman machine stop
  podman machine start

Now your VolunteerHub app is up and running with Podman! 🚀
