Bringing up the services

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/dockersamples/getting-started-todo-app
cd getting-started-todo-app

2. Switch to container-first branch

git checkout container-first-aws-mongo

3. Add the Environment Variables

Copy .env.sample to .env file and Ensure that you have the right environmental variable added as shown:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://mongodb:27017/todo-app
JWT_SECRET=603b31XXXXXXX90d3b8cb62f0a585fd70a5ee0b4d
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAXXXXXDDDX
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=hSYXtvXXXXXXXO/k39FGt3u078pYWsh
AWS_REGION=us-east-1
S3_BUCKET_NAME=localbuckett

You can leverage this link to generate JWT token.

4. Bring up the services:

docker compose watch

5. Access the app

Open http://localhost:3000 to access the todo-list app. Try adding a task and uploading the image.

Verify Mongo

You can verify if task gets added by selecting the container and clicking on "Exec" option on the Docker dashboard. Now you should be able to run the following command to verify the tasks.
