  • redis service should have
    • password rootroot
    • mapping port 6379 to 6379
    • mounting volume ./redis_data to /data
  • postgresql service should have
    • password rootroot
    • mapping port 5432 to 5432
    • mounting volume ./postgres_data to /var/lib/postgresql/data
  • mongo service should have
    • initdb root username root
    • initdb root password rootroot
    • mapping port 27017 to 27017
    • mounting volume ./mongo_data to /data/db

Add .gitignore file

• Insert redis_data, postgres_data and mongo_data directories in .gitignore file

Run Maven test command

• Run maven clean test command to check if the project is working

./mvnw clean test

Run Maven run command (Optional)

• (Optional) docker-compose up -d to start the services, ./mvnw spring-boot:run to run the Spring Boot project, docker-compose rm -sf to stop the services.
