Let’s Chat

Let’s Chat is self-hosted chat app for small to big teams. This tutorial will walk you through the process of adding the following:

• Build step - that will build docker image for your let’s chat app
• Push to registry step - that will push your image to docker hub
• Unit Test step - A freestyle step that runs the unit test of the demo chat after the build
• Composition step - This step will run a composition which use your chat image from the build step, docker image of curl and check if your application is responsive. It will do so by printing “works” if a curl command to our app at port 5000 succeed.

Looking around

In the root of this repository you’ll find a file named codefresh.yml, this is our build descriptor and it describes the different steps that comprise our process. Let’s quickly review the contents of this file:
