Usage

In order to run it, specify the following environment variables:

Variable	Description
SESSION_SERVICE_HOSTNAME	The hostname of the session service
SESSION_SERVICE_PORT	The port of the session service
PROFILE_SERVICE_HOSTNAME	The hostname of the profile service
PROFILE_SERVICE_PORT	The port of the profile service
AUTH_SERVICE_HOSTNAME	The hostname of the auth service
AUTH_SERVICE_PORT	The port of the auth service
AKKA_LICENSE_KEY	The license key for Akka

The frontend service can be deployed through a Docker container:

1. Create a env.list file specifying the environment variable values, as example:

   PROFILE_SERVICE_HOSTNAME="localhost"
   PROFILE_SERVICE_PORT=3001
   AUTH_SERVICE_HOSTNAME="localhost"
   AUTH_SERVICE_PORT=3000
   SESSION_SERVICE_HOSTNAME="localhost"
   SESSION_SERVICE_PORT=4000
   

2. Run the docker container, by substituting LOCAL_PORT with your preferred port:

   docker run --env-file -p LOCAL_PORT:80 ./env.list ghcr.io/letsstreamit/frontend-service:main

   If the other services are running in localhost, add the option --network host to let the service contact them.
