Docker Build Instructions
First refer to Compiling Web Standalone to build successfully locally and use it normally. Then in the project root directory (directory with Dockerfile), execute:
docker build -t restfox:xx .
Note: xx is the version number
After the build is complete, use the following command to start the service:
docker run -d -p:4004:4004 restfox:xx
Visit after successful startup: localhost:4004
Alternatively, you can also use the pre-built Docker image available on Docker Hub. See: Docker.
