docker-scripts

Templates for developers to easily create and remove various services within their local development environment, such as postgres and mongodb.

Pre-requisites

1. Install Docker via https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/

Usage

1. Navigate to the sub-folder of the service you wish to create:

cd mongo

2. Copy .env.example to .env and change values if needed:

cp .env.example .env

3. Run docker compose. The -d flag runs is a detached-state so that the command-line window can be closed without impacting the service.

docker compose up -d

4. To stop the container and destroy the data within, run from the same folder:

docker compose down

Mac Users
