Docker Compose with Mongo Express

This repository provides a Docker Compose configuration to set up a local environment with MongoDB and Mongo Express. It includes a basic setup with default credentials, allowing for easy development and testing. MongoDB serves as the database, while Mongo Express offers a user-friendly web interface to interact with your MongoDB instance.

Cloning Repository

$ git clone https://github.com/ChristopherAtkinson/docker-compose-mongo-express.git

$ cd docker-compose-mongo-express

Running Development Database

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

$ docker compose up -d

  [+] Running 3/3
   ✔ Network docker-compose-mongo-express_mongo-compose-network  Created
   ✔ Container mongo                                             Healthy
   ✔ Container mongo-express                                     Started

[!NOTE] This command does the work of the docker-compose build and docker-compose run commands. It builds the images if they are not located locally and starts the containers. If images are already built, it will fork the container directly.
