Docker Build Instructions

First refer to Compiling Web Standalone to build successfully locally and use it normally. Then in the project root directory (directory with Dockerfile), execute:

docker build -t restfox:xx .

Note: xx is the version number

After the build is complete, use the following command to start the service:

docker run -d -p:4004:4004 restfox:xx

Visit after successful startup: localhost:4004

Alternatively, you can also use the pre-built Docker image available on Docker Hub. See: Docker.
