CHEF_CHALLENGE COOKBOOK

The goal of this cookbook is to deploy Javascript through containerized Node.js service and Nginx web server.

• Both the Node.js and Nginx services need to be deployed within a docker container
• Of the two containers only the Nginx should be directly exposed.
• The Nginx server plays the role of the webserver/frontend/reverse proxy.
  • Communication to the Node.js instance will travel across a private network.
