Local Setup Instructions

6.1 Back-end

1. Setup database connection in application.properties.
2. Start the application:
   • When the application starts, it creates database products, countries, and states. The setup is in config/SetupInitialData.java.

Step-by-step instructions:

• (Include detailed setup instructions and necessary screenshots such as database configuration and running the application)

6.2 Front-end

1. Configure API URL in app/service/constant.ts.
2. Start the application:
   • In the command line, type npm start to run the script for HTTPS.

Azure Setup Instructions

Using Docker Compose to deploy back-end APIs and MySQL on Azure App Services:

1. Create a Dockerfile for the back-end to build the image.
2. Create a Docker Compose file including MySQL and back-end API.
3. Create a JAR file (ensure to comment out database information in application.properties to avoid deployment issues):

   mvn clean package -DskipTests

4. Build docker image for back-end API

   docker build -t phiducngo/cfd-fea-api:1.0.4 .

5. Push back-end image to Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/)

   docker push phiducngo/cfd-fea-api:1.0.4

6. Create Web App Go to App Services, create Web App and select Publish as Container.

In Deployment -> Deployment Center, configure

• Container type: Docker Compose

• Registry source: Docker Hub

• And upload the Docker compose file prepared into Config textbox
