vitprado/cpprest

A dockerized C++ web application skeleton.

A dockerized REST "Hello World" written in C++.

The code uses CPPRestSDK and is partially based on this sample.

Installation

The sample currently only runs on macOS and via Docker.

macOS

• Install XCode.
• brew install git cmake boost
• ./libs/build_dependencies.sh

Build & Run

• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . && cmake --build . - Replace Release with Debug for a build with debug symbols.
• ./crest <PORT>

Docker

• docker-compose build && docker-compose up
• Re-build the container after changing code: docker-compose down && docker-compose build && docker-compose up

The very first build will take several minutes as it e.g. builds a more recent version of CMake from source. Subsequent builds will only re-compile the code in /app.
