I updated the docker-compose configuration to allow us to easily run the app with a
docker-compose up.I needed to add the
HOSTas0.0.0.0because the Swagger will be running in the same container as the API, and it will listen for requests to0.0.0.0instead oflocalhostinside the container.I also needed to add a new
SWAGGER_HOSTaslocalhostbecause when accessing the/api-docsin the host machine, a request to0.0.0.0(theHOSTenv variable) will not go from the host machine to the Docker container, it needs to request tolocalhost.I add
container_namewith thenode-api-boilerplateprefix to avoid conflicts with other Docker containers that the developer can have.I also added the
mongo-expressto make it easy to administrate the MongoDB accessinglocalhost:8081.
