🚀 CI/CD Pipeline for Student Projects

This project implements a simple CI/CD system that automatically:

• Clones a GitHub repository when a commit is pushed.
• Builds and runs the project inside Docker.
• Runs test cases using the project's Dockerfile.
• Stores logs in MongoDB and displays them on a dashboard.

🧰 Tech Stack

• Frontend: React.js
• Backend: Node.js + Express
• Database: MongoDB
• Docker: For containerized builds and tests
• JWT: For user authentication

📦 Local Setup Instructions

❗ This project is not deployed because of insufficient credits on my cloud accounts. You can run it locally and simulate the GitHub webhook using ngrok.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Docker
• MongoDB running locally (mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/CICD_project)
• Git
• ngrok for exposing localhost to the internet

---

🔧 Installation

1. Clone the project

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/ci-cd-student-project.git
   cd ci-cd-student-project
   

2. Install backend dependencies

   cd server
   npm install
   

3. Start MongoDB locally

   Make sure MongoDB is running

4. Start the backend server

   npm start
   

5. 🌐 Expose Backend using ngrok

   To receive GitHub webhook events, your localhost must be publicly accessible.

6. Start ngrok in a new terminal:

   ngrok http 8080
   eg: https://random-id.ngrok.io
