Working with the Docker Containers in Development¶

Quick Start¶

Quick Start Overview

Use this section to quickly run the full stack or individual services during development.

Run Everything (Full Stack)¶

Note

Check the docker-compose.yml file for more information about the specific configuration of the full stack.

Spin up the entire stack using Docker:

docker-compose up --build

Run Individual Services¶

Use these commands if you only need specific parts of the stack.

docker-compose up -d <container-name>
