Roulette Wheel

Warning

This role isn't actively maintained. Use it with caution in production environments.

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.
