A basic setup for a NodeJs app with mongoDb and docker-compose

Project Name

Node Backend Template

Description

This is a basic setup for a Node.js application with MongoDB and Docker Compose.

Features

Express.js server
MongoDB integration
Docker Compose configuration

Prerequisites

Before running this project, make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js
Docker
Docker Compose

Getting Started

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/node-backend-template.git

Create your .env file:

cp .env.example .env

Update the .env file with your MongoDB connection string:

MONGO_URI=mongodb://mongo:27017/test_db

If you are running the MongoDB server locally, you can use the following connection string:

MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/test_db

Build the containers:

cd node-backend-template
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.mongo.yml build: for building both the node and mongo containers
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build: for building only the node container

Start the containers:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.mongo.yml up: for starting both the node and mongo containers
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up: for starting only the node container

Your Node.js application should now be running on http://localhost:3001 and the MongoDB server should be running on http://localhost:27017 with a database named test_db.
