Roulette Wheel

Overview

This role deploys and configures the Roulette Wheel application using Docker Compose. It pulls the latest source code from a Git repository, builds a Docker image from a Node.js base, and starts the application on a user-defined local HTTP port.

Description

Roulette Wheel is a Node.js-based front-end application that is containerized using Docker. The role accomplishes the following:

• Repository Integration: Automatically clones or updates the application repository from GitHub.
• Dockerfile Management: Uses a custom Dockerfile (built on a Node.js image) to install dependencies, build the application, and define the startup command.
• Container Deployment: Integrates with Docker Compose for container orchestration, making it easy to manage the application's lifecycle.

Features

• Dockerized Deployment: Packages the application in a Docker container for consistent and isolated runtime.
• Automated Builds: Uses an automated Docker build process with a dedicated Dockerfile.
• Configurable Ports: Exposes the application through a customizable host port.
• Git Integration: Ensures that the application source code is up-to-date by pulling from the specified Git repository.
