Setting up databases for local development

Localhost Databases is a collection of Docker Compose files for relational and NoSQL databases, which aims to offer a simple approach to setting up databases for a local environment.

EASY TO USE!

I created individual Docker Compose files for each database server in Localhost Databases. I provided an example of a DotEnv file that will allow you to configure your database's credentials and map a container's port.

Starting a database Docker container is simple by providing the -f flag for the docker compose command.

docker compose -f compose.database-name.yaml up -d

An example of the docker compose command would be as follows:

docker compose -f compose.redis.yaml up -d

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Localhost Databases include 12 database servers. The following databases are part of the repository's collection:

• Cassandra

• CockroachDB

• DynamoDB Local

• MariaDB

• MongoDB

• Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL)

• MySQL

• Neo4j

• PostgreSQL

• Redis

• SurrealDB

• YugabyteDB

WHAT'S NEXT?

I will continue to add additional database servers to the Localhost Databases collection. Be sure to check out the Localhost Databases repo for more information.
