Quick links

• PostgreSQL
• MySQL
• MS SQL Server

Prerequisites

• Docker (Desktop or Engine)
• Docker Compose

Getting started (PowerShell)

1. Open PowerShell/Terminal and change to the service folder, for example:

   cd .\mssql-db

2. Start the service in detached mode:

   docker-compose up -d

3. Stop and remove containers:

   docker-compose down

Environment and connection

• Each service folder contains a docker-compose.yml and may include a .env with connection details.
• Use the exposed ports and environment variables to connect with your client or application.

Ignoring local tool files

This repository includes a .gitignore at the root. The .system/ folder is intentionally ignored to keep local tooling files out of source control.

If .system was already committed, stop tracking it while keeping files locally:

git add .gitignore
git commit -m "Add .system/ to .gitignore"
git rm -r --cached .system
git commit -m "Stop tracking .system and honor .gitignore"
git status --ignored
git check-ignore -v -- .system

Notes

• Replace mssql-db with mysql-db or pgs-db to manage the other database services.
• If you need seed data for MS SQL, look in mssql-db/data (or the top-level mssql-db/data/ in this repo).
