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.

Explore a Container w/ Bash

In any given container, run the following. Most of the time, the service name will just be db, but there may be an exception or two.

docker-compose exec --user root SERVICE_NAME /bin/bash

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
