Dependency Services

DB​

For now, we only recommend Postgres as db service.

  1. If you are using Mac, you can setup Postgres service using Postgres.app
  2. If you are using Linux, you can use apt-get install or docker

Redis​

$ docker run --rm -p 6379:6379 -d redis

Mailhog​

Mailhog can help us check email content, and the style on local.

$ docker run --rm -d -p 1025:1025 -p 8025:8025 mailhog/mailhog

Docker Compose solution​

Use local.yml to let people launch dependency services using one command docker compose -f local.yml up

caution

If you are using old version of Docker Compose, please use docker-compose instead of docker compose
