1. Install Docker and Docker Compose

   Install docker

    # remove older versions of docker
   sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc -y
   
   # add docker repositories
   sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common -y
   
   # add Docker gpg key
   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   
   # set up stable repositories
   sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs)  stable" -y
   
   # install docker
   sudo apt update && sudo apt install docker-ce containerd.io -y
   
   # add current user to docker group and refresh current shell
   sudo usermod –aG docker $USER
   
   # notify user to rerun script again
   echo -e "\n\e[0;32mAfter entering your password, rerun ./deploy.sh again to proceed\e[0;39m\n"
   
   # refresh current shell
   exec su $USER

   Install docker compose

   # download docker compose
   sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
   
   # make binary executable
   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

2. Pull and spin up the image

   # Create a folder in your home directory
   mkdir apps/server
   # Copy contents of deploy/docker-compose.yml file to docker-compose.yml
   vi docker-compose.yml
   # Pull image
   docker-compose pull
   # Start application instamce
   docker-compose up -d
   

3. Setting up token signing and verification certificates

   # create private key
   openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -aes256 -out ./private.pem
   
   # create public key from generated public key
   openssl rsa -in ./private.pem -pubout -outform PEM -out ./public.pem

   Save generated keys in certs folder, at the project root. Save them as private.pem & public.pem
