# Local Docker DB

## What?
A collection of Docker Compose files I've used to quickly spin local databases of various sorts.

## Why?
Because I've oft needed them, particularly when I just don't wanna deal with the hassle of spinning up a DB on my own system.

## How? 
Clone the repo or copy a `docker-compose.yml` file to your system, `cd` into that directory, and turn it on with `docker-compose up`. You may also use a `docker-compose.override.yml` file inside this repository to customize a container. For a full reference on how to use Docker Compose, [go here](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/).

## Local Persistence
In each setup, a managed volume is created to persist each container's data. This volume can be deleted by passing the `-v` option when deleting the container.

```
docker-compose down -v
```

## Authentication
For authenticating as super user with each of these examples, `root` is the username and `password` is the password.
