Mongo/Docker Setup

#work/C442 #public

1. Set up docker for your operating system if it's not already set up: https://www.docker.com
2. Download and put in a known directory:
   • docker-compose.yml
   • students.json
   • mongo-init.sh
3. Open a terminal and change directory to your known directory
4. With Docker Desktop running, run docker compose up
5. From any mongo client (like DataGrip), connect to:
   • host: 127.0.0.1
   • port: 27017
   • user: root
   • pass: example
6. You will likely want to flip to the 'Schemas' tab in the connection settings and select "All databases"
   • You should have a students database and collection automatically
7. When finished, use docker compose down to destroy the instance

You can use ^c to end the process, or run docker compose up -d to run it in the background.
