A boilerplate Docker project for development with a mysql database, a node.js backend using Express

• nodejs: 14 + express
• mysql: 8.0
• docker

We develop this boilerplate with the following docker version: 19.03.13

docker-compose version: 1.29.0

• ☑️ nodejs 14 + express api
• ☑️ mysql 8 database
• ☑️ running this application with docker

Case if you have a mysql instance running, you must shutdown before run docker container:

 $ sudo service mysql stop 

Then:

 $ cp .env.example .env $ npm run clean:cache $ npm run build $ npm run start:background 

1. To stop running a container, first execute the following command to get container id:

 docker ps 

2. Copy the container ID and run the following command:

 docker stop <container id> 

To access the database container, we must get the container id first. Run the following command:

 $ docker ps 

This previous command list all active containers.

Copy mysql container id and type the following:

 $ docker exec -it <container id> bash 

Then, to access database via line command:

 $ mysql -u <username> -p
