Simple Elm installation via Docker and Docker Compose.

You will need Docker and Docker Compose in order to run this with the minimal amount of effort. Once you have those tools installed check out the repo and run docker-compose up. This will run through the build process for the image and depending on your internet connection could take a few minutes. At the end of the build Docker Compose will start the web service, which launches the elm-reactor process. You can now visit http:https://localhost:8000 in your browser to see the website up and running.

There is a very basic Hello World if you go to /Main.elm. You can now edit the files in the directory and it will auto-reload.

There are a couple of instances of where you will have to rebuild your Docker image. If you add any packages via elm-package or modify the Dockerfile.

If you need provide environment variables to the container, you need to create a .env file in the root directory — which you may have noticed is included in the .gitignore file.
