Skill Matrix

A refactoring of the beloved Spring Petclinic to a skill matrix project.

What is a skill matrix?

Here developers of a company can enter and rate their skills. Other people can search for skills and see which person has these skills.

Running it with H2

You can run it from Maven directly using the Spring Boot Maven plugin. Without any profile we use a H2 database.

./mvnw spring-boot:run

You can then access it here: http://localhost:8080/

Running it with postgres dB

First start the database

docker run -p 5432:5432 --name skillmatrix-postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=sm_user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=sm_pw -e POSTGRES_DB=skillmatrix-db postgres

then start the app

./mvnw spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=postgres

Dockerfile

./mvnw clean package
docker build . -t skillmatrix:latest
docker run -p 8080:8080 skillmatrix
