# FaunaDB w/ Docker Compose
This setup contains two separate services -- one for running the DB platform itself, and one for the shell used to interface with that platform.
# Using the Dockerized Fauna Shell
Running `docker-compose up` will activate both the DB and Fauna shell services, removing any need to deal with dependencies on your own machine.
## Accessing the Shell
Enter the container to use the shell with the following:
```
docker-compose exec --user root shell /bin/bash
```
## Running Only the DB Service
To run _only_ the DB, use `docker-compose up shell`. In order to use the Fauna shell with that DB, you'll need to set it up on your machine:
### Set Up the Fauna Shell
Outside your container, you'll need to separately install the `fauna-shell` for interacting with FaunaDB via command line. Dig into the package more [here](https://github.com/fauna/fauna-shell).
### Install the CLI
`npm install -g fauna-shell`
### Configure the Shell
Create a ~/.fauna-shell configuration file.
```
touch ~/.fauna-shell
```
Place the following in that file. These values will set up the shell to interface with your running FaunaDB container.
```
default=localhost
[localhost]
domain=127.0.0.1
port=8443
scheme=http
secret=secret
```
## Create a DB
Run the following:
```
fauna create-database mydatabase
```
Start up a shell with your newly created database with the following:
```
fauna shell mydatabase
```
## Use a Pretty UI Locally
