Running the Docker Containers

This project comes with a 'hot-reload' docker environment via:

  • Mounting the files the CRA dev server is watching as volume
  • Similarly mounting volume for server application with nodemon
  1. Create a volume by typing docker volume create mongodbdata in the terminal.
  2. From root folder type docker-compose up or docker-compose up --build to force rebuild in the terminal.
  3. If you would like to add post, ssh into the mongo container using the docker exec -it <container id> /bin/bash and modify your user in the users collection to have role as admin.
