DockerStuff

DockerStuff is a collection of DockerFiles / Docker Compose scripts to help me spin up containers that I need frequently while working. I’m sharing it with you because it’s useful to me. Feel free to fork and submit PRs with your own setup!

MySQL

This is just a simple docker-compose.yml file that will help you spin up a MySQL server. It creates a default database (dev) for you to use.

To start it:

cd mysql && ./start.sh

This will start the MySQL container in daemon mode. If you do docker ps you should see it listed. I have mapped it to localhost:32773 because reasons^tm. It also creates a directory called data which allows this container to maintain state between starting / stopping.

PostgreSQL

This will spin up a postgres server for you, with the default PG port open (5432). The data volume is stored in ./postgres/data so you can tear down and delete the container without blowing away the data. If you need to delete the data, simply tear down the container, delete that directory, and start it back up.

To start it:

cd postgres && ./start.sh

Static Server

This will spin up an Nginx server pointed to a directory of your choosing. It is not configured for anything except static sites.

To start it:

static-file-server/start.sh -d <YourStaticSiteDirectory> -p <WhateverPortYouWant>

This will start up a server that will server whatever directory you point it to on whatever port you specify. This makes testing static sites on a robust server a bit easier.

Couchbase

Really simple, and basically the same setup as the MySQL server. It will create a Couchbase server for you to use at the standard couchbase ports (8091).

To start it:

cd couchbase && ./start.sh

Then go to http://localhost:8091 to finish setup.

RabbitMQ

Just your basic RabbitMQ setup. Should be sufficient for local dev/testing purposes.

To start it:

cd rabbit && ./start.sh

Redis

Default / basic Redis server. Default port (6379) mapped. Data is mapped to volume ./data for persistence. This directory is created when you run the start script.

To start:

cd redis && ./start.sh

memcached

Default / basic memcached server. Default port (11211) is mapped.

To start:

cd memcached && ./start.sh
