The salutation microservice can technically be built to run on macOS or Ubuntu Linux. However, we recommend building for Ubuntu Linux since that will likely be the environment used if you were to deploy the microservice into the cloud. Furthermore, to assure consistency between development and possible deployment environments, Docker is used. Take the following steps to build and run the microservice on your host machine:

1] Build the Docker Image

docker build -t s3-salutation:1.0.0 .

2] Run the Docker Image (start Bash shell)

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app -p 80:80 s3-salutation:1.0.0 /bin/bash

3] Build the Monolith

# assuming you are located at /app
swift build

4] Run the Monolith

# assuming you are located at /app
.build/debug/salutation

5] Test an Endpoint!
