# Docker Setup for Recipe Management App
|
|
|
|
## MongoDB Configuration
|
|
|
|
This project now includes a Docker Compose setup for MongoDB with persistent storage.
|
|
|
|
### Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Create a `.env` file in the `backend/` directory with the following variables:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# MongoDB Configuration (parameterized for security)
|
|
MONGODB_USERNAME=admin
|
|
MONGODB_PASSWORD=password123
|
|
MONGODB_HOST=localhost
|
|
MONGODB_PORT=27017
|
|
MONGODB_DATABASE=recipe-management
|
|
|
|
# Alternative: Use full connection string (overrides individual parameters)
|
|
# MONGODB_URI=mongodb://admin:password123@localhost:27017/recipe-management?authSource=admin
|
|
|
|
# Server Configuration
|
|
PORT=5000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: The application will automatically construct the MongoDB URI from the individual parameters. You can also override this by setting `MONGODB_URI` directly.
|
|
|
|
### Starting the Services
|
|
|
|
1. Start MongoDB and Mongo Express:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Start the backend application:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd backend
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Services Included
|
|
|
|
- **MongoDB**: Database server on port 27017 with persistent volume
|
|
- **Mongo Express**: Web-based MongoDB admin interface on port 8081
|
|
|
|
### Default Credentials
|
|
|
|
- **MongoDB Admin User**: admin
|
|
- **MongoDB Admin Password**: password123
|
|
- **Database Name**: recipe-management
|
|
|
|
### Accessing Services
|
|
|
|
- **Mongo Express**: http://localhost:8081
|
|
- **Backend API**: http://localhost:5000
|
|
|
|
### Data Persistence
|
|
|
|
MongoDB data is stored in a Docker volume named `mongodb_data` which persists between container restarts.
|
|
|
|
### Seed Data
|
|
|
|
The seed data from `backend/seedData.js` is automatically loaded when the MongoDB container starts for the first time.
