1. AccountManager : http://[IP/localhost]:1002
2. GipherManager : http://[IP/localhost]:1000
3. GipherRecommendationsSystem : http://[IP/localhost]:1001
4. Eureka Server : http://[IP/localhost]:9999
5. Zuul Server : http://[IP/localhost]:9090
6. GipherUI : http://[IP/localhost]:8080

Follow following steps to run gipher projct

1. Clone repository
2. plesae make sure all backend services (mysql and mongo ) are stopped and there are no containers and images in system conflicting with gipher application containers.
3. navigate to the root directory containing docker compose file
4. run command docker-compose up
5. navigate to http://localhost:8080 to see gipher ui frontend.

1. AccountManager - Should be able to manage user accounts

  • favouriteGIF GIFs
  • should be able to see bookmarked GIFs
• Application should be a responsive which can smoothly run on mobile devices.

3. GipherManager - Application should be able to store all his

• bookmarks
• searches

4. GipherRecommenderSystem - should be able to store all the unique bookmarked gifs from all the users and maintain counter for number of users added a particular gifs into favouriteGIF list.
