   install](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)

### Set up the boltcard server
- Run `./docker_init.sh` to set up the initial data
- Put the `tls.cert` file and `admin.macaroon` files in the project root directory

### https setup

set up the server hosting firewall to allow open access to https (port 443) only


### service bring-up and running
```
$ sudo groupadd docker
$ sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
(log out & in again)
$ docker volume create caddy_data
// add -d option for detached mode
$ docker compose up
```

### stop docker
```
$ docker compose down
```
To delete the database and reset the docker volume, run `docker-compose down --volumes`
*NOTE:  caddy_data volume won't be removed even if you run `docker-compose down --volumes` because it's an external volume.*  

### check container logs

```
$ docker logs [OPTIONS] CONTAINER

Run `$ docker ps` to list containers and get container names/ids
