-# Installing Uptime Manager
-
-## Quickstart for users (quick method)
-
-1. Download our [Docker compose file](https://github.com/bluewave-labs/bluewave-uptime/blob/develop/Docker/dist/docker-compose.yaml)
-2. Run `docker compose up` to start the application
-3. Now the application is running at `http://localhost`
-
----
-
-## Quickstart for developers
-
-{% hint style="info" %}

-#### Databases
-
-This project requires two databases:
-
-1. **Main application database:** The project uses MongoDB for its primary database, with a MongoDB Docker image provided for easy setup.
-2. **Redis for queue management:** A Redis database is used for the PingService’s queue system, and a Redis Docker image is included for deployment.
-
-You may use the included Dockerfiles to spin up databases quickly if you wish.
-
-**(Optional) Dockerised databases**
-
-Dockerfiles for the server and databases are located in the `Docker` directory
-
-
-
-MongoDB Image
-
-Location: `Docker/mongoDB.Dockerfile`
-
-The `Docker/mongo/data` directory should be mounted to the MongoDB container in order to persist data.
-
-From the `Docker` directory run
-
-1. Build the image: `docker build -f mongoDB.Dockerfile -t uptime_database_mongo .`
-2. Run the docker image: `docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -v $(pwd)/mongo/data:/data/db --name uptime_database_mongo uptime_database_mongo`
-
-
-
-
-
-Redis Image
-
-Location `Docker/redis.Dockerfile`
-
-the `Docker/redis/data` directory should be mounted to the Redis container in order to persist data.
-
-From the `Docker` directory run
-
-1. Build the image: `docker build -f redis.Dockerfile -t uptime_redis .`
-2. Run the image: `docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -v $(pwd)/redis/data:/data --name uptime_redis uptime_redis`
-

-
-#### Starting the development server
-
-- run `npm run dev` to start the development server
-
-or,
-
-- run `node index.js` to start server
-
----
-
-### API documentation
-
-Our API is documented in accordance with the [OpenAPI spec](https://www.openapis.org/).
-
-You can see the documentation on your local development server at http://localhost:{port}/api-docs
-
-You can also view the documentation on our demo server at [https://uptime-demo.bluewavelabs.ca/api-docs](https://uptime-demo.bluewavelabs.ca/api-docs)
-
-### Error handling
-
-Errors are returned in a standard format:
-
-`{"success": false, "msg": "No token provided"}`
-
-Errors are handled by error handling middleware and should be thrown with the following parameters
-
-| Name | Type | Default | Notes |
-| ------- | --------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
-| status | `integer` | 500 | Standard HTTP codes |
-| message | `string` | "Something went wrong" | An error message |
-| service | `string` | "Unknown Service" | Name of service that threw the error |
-
-Example:
-
-```
-const myRoute = async(req, res, next) => {
- try{
- const result = myRiskyOperationHere();
- }
- catch(error){
- error.status = 404
- error.message = "Resource not found"
- error.service = service name
- next(error)
- return;
- }
-}
-
-```
-
-Errors should not be handled at the controller level and should be left to the middleware to handle.
