   sudo docker build -t server . 
   

2. Run the server container by executing following command.

   sudo docker run -d -p 8090:8090 -e Port=3030 --name server -v test-volume:/serverdata -t server 
   

3. Modify the copy command of dockerfile inside client folder from /client . to . . and excute following command to build the client image.

   sudo docker build -t client .
   

4. Run the client container by executing following command.

   sudo docker run -d -p 9090:9090 -e ServerHost=server -e ServerPort=3030 --name client --link server -v test-volume:/clientdata -t  client
