Exploring Docker [2] - Docker Compose With Node & MongoDB

In this video we will take a simple Node/Express/Mongo app and dockerize it by adding a Dockerfile and using docker-compose to bundle services together. We will also run our containers on a Digital Ocean droplet.

If you want your data to persist in prod, add something like this to your mongo service... volumes: - ./data/db:/data/db .There are many resources online so when you create these files, be sure to check some other examples. This is a very basic setup

[@KylanHurt]

Beautiful. You probably just saved me at least a few hours of work. The whole point of a DB is persistence so that line of code helps a ton! Great video.

[@bennet2444]

What about the Security of the Mongo Container? Anyway to manage it with docker as well?

[@andressoop]

Just to be clear on this. If I run "docker-compose down", the database will be cleared if it has no external volume right?

[@sohammondal578]

@@andressoop Yes exactly.

[@wisdommatthew6775]

@@andressoop Yeah

[@DodaGarcia]

I’m glad you didn’t edit out your fumbling with the SSH keys and passwords, it was the most relatable part of the video 😂😭

[@ivandrofly]

your tutorials are always perfect. Audio: 10/10 Video: 10/10 Information: 10/10

[@Mathias-cq3zo]

plus we got a quick ssh and GitHub Key tutorial hahahha ** insert "I came looking for copper and I found gold" meme **

[@DodaGarcia]

Password frustration comedy: 10/10

[@MrHumanwarrior]

Dude, I watched the part one of this and it's awesome. You definitely got me hyped about this DevOps thing... a great tutorial and great teacher. Bravo!

[@NazeerHolmes]

Great tutorial. I appreciate the "hiccups", more realistic then many tuts out there. It give a sense of how things can be. Thanks!

[@thriftynick27]

Nice and simple, straightforward example. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@thecondor5488]

That was perfect. Made understanding how Docker makes it so easy to set up and run in several environments very easy to understand. Thanks again sir. As always clear and concise and to the point. Even the real world issue with SSH key was easy to understand and didn't take away from the purpose at all. Appreciate you!

[@gaius_marius]

Excellent tutorial. I've been a developer for 20 years but I'm a complete beginner with Docker. I've been watching some of your other videos and you have a treasure trove of info on many topics. Glad I found your channel!

[@nickfmatthews09]

Genuinely love this walkthrough, but my favorite moments are: whispering "shit" and the 4 attempts to login.

[@GG-uz8us]

Yeah, it's the real situation people are experiencing.

[@christopherparrish1293]

I'm an infrastructure guy trying to dip his toe in to the microservices realm and part 1 & 2 of these videos lays it all out there in a way that makes sense. Good work, I'll be checking out some of your other videos as well!!!

[@robbiedelrosario8638]

This is really great! Hoping for a series on Kubernetes :D

[@EduardKaresli]

These two videos about Docker are gold... Thanks a lot!!

[@Leeboi305]

This was awesome man. Followed it step by step, learned how to launch in D.O, learned how to generate ssh keys and even switch between ssh-agents because i didn't want to overwrite my previous key. Thanks for all you do!

[@gtrockefellar]

Great video! I appreciate how genuine you come off as especially with the random phone "dings" and the random "Siht" bombs. It makes your videos easier to follow cause its' not a totally monotone script.

[@diallomamadou258]

Always amazing content Brad, I'm so glad to be one of your subscribers. Thank you very much

[@carolinavalverde9034]

Please keep doing tutorial please. It’s rare to see tutorials of such high quality! Thank you!

[@rusa_]

Brilliant video. Just getting started with all of this. I found it easy to follow along. You kept the jargon simple. I appreciate it

[@johnragica1723]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing this. It really helps a lot because your instructions are very clear and practical. More power to you.

[@subhajitdaripa3458]

love you bro just love the way you teach things in simple yet effective manner have been following you for some time and I am already your fan

[@josphatoluoch5205]

I can't believe all this material is FREE. Thank a lot for the material.

[@catherinedesrochers]

The SSH Key hiccup was a good thing as it refreshed my memory about it!

[@shauntonesify]

Again, - Brad to the Rescue. Just started working with Docker-Compose and besides it not doing what I wanted- it kept installing packages with yarn :X glad this video was around to save my day... again.

[@xadasol8692]

It definitely deserves a massive like Thank you Brad

[@darwinsanjayasendri8622]

Thanks for the tutorial. It was simple and concise explanation.

[@technics6215]

Thanks for another nice 2in1 tutorial. I didn't realized that it is possible to work with ssh so efficient in shell :)

[@derricknjoroge2494]

Wow, this is amazing! Thank You Brad

[@databridgeconsultants9163]

Absolutely Awesome Content . Thank you very much . As I am a new beginner on Docker and Container , I feel very confident now .

[@Quartzaoe]

Docker is godsent, makes everything so much simpler

[@codenx2]

That ssh part helped me :) too. Thanks.

[@coltonwilliams1565]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you Brad

[@HearterSG]

docker is insane! and this tutorial also was insane. thanks brad!

[@ademhodzic6712]

Really nice tutorial! Thanks a lot. Keep up good work Brad...

[@gumpie]

Brad ... shout out from South Africa. This was awesome... Such good content. Docker seems a bit more simple for me now.

[@HenkBadenhorst_MM]

Thanks, fantastic intro to Docker!

[@junehanabi1756]

I will vouch for Digital Ocean. I've used many providers over the years Go Daddy, Name cheap, Media Temple, etc... After I went to Digital Ocean I will never go back. I've been with them for many years and have watched them go through so many large changes but I've loved everyone of them. They offer so many more features now than they did when I first signed on, it's amazing. The pricing tiers are great, the pricing model is great, and in minutes I can add a free external firewall, a $5 CDN, inexpensive daily live full-image backups and manual full-image snapshots, domain hosting, Lets Encrypt auto-generation and a raw server just handed to you with no limits or restrictions. Who wouldn't want to use them lol.

[@miluna94]

Awesome tutorial as usual. Thanks Brad!

[@timothyhartley2791]

Thanks for talking through the SSH issue.

[@rohitagrawal769]

Thank you so much man!!. 02:25 This really helped me. After searching for 2 days i found this video and just small change and my codes are running now. Replaced localhost with the container service name in my url. Thanks once again!!

[@meirkhanyesseyev7275]

Thank you for great Docker tutorials. Could you make some tutorials about Kubernetes, which basically uses Docker containers for servers.

[@derwt7]

omg thanks for taking the time to do this

[@wwhill8033]

Another amazing Video, Thanks Brad and keep up the fantastic work!!

[@billpliske]

Very helpful, Brad. Great job!

[@Paul_Green]

Great tutorial, thank you. It's worth pointing out you should always use a passphrase to protect your ssh private keys unless you really don't care about the hosts you put the public key on, which is probably the case for this demo, but viewers might not realise that.

[@miriamramstudio3982]

Just what I needed. Very well explained. very good video. Thanks !!

[@kelthuzal]

Thanks fir great vdo, really waiting for Kubernetes series

[@adilsaju]

Great video for beginners. Please do more on docker!

[@prakad97]

Re-watching it in 2x speed..it was the same reactions that i give when i forget my password for github..hilarious..!! Great video brad..!!

[@rroblesgo]

Excelent as always Mr. Brad !!

[@nilsdomin3120]

Great, thanks! Suggestion: You could make a tutorial with the MERN stack, e. g. with your Devconnector app.

[@noahwilliams8918]

Super informative tutorial, as always! I was already was familiar with Docker when I started it, but the recap and detailed explanation of what you are doing and how everything works is always that extra +5% that gives one the confidence to deploy in production :) p.s. the best part of this tutorial was the "shit" in a Boston accent. As a New England ex-pat, that's a sound I've not heard in a long time! 😂👏

[@beyondthehorizon94]

You made it look very simple, thx.

[@fvgoya]

Man, you don't need to apologize!!!!! Even with this "mistake" turn to a recap of ssh!!! Appreciate it!!!!

[@rionaldy]

Thanks for the Docker tutorial, man. You saved us a lot of time with the Digital Ocean and Github troubleshootings :D Btw, do you think you can do a tutorial series on the ELK stack? Not forcing you, but it'll be great and I would really appreciate that. PS. : love your videos btw :)

[@sarba85528]

Thank you, sir! I learned a lot following your codes, comment as well as all the explanation.

[@jasdfpasdfakdsjhfa]

Hey Brad, thanks for the videos, you're awesome! Quick tip from one mac user to another you may not be aware of. On mac you can pipe a command to pbcopy in order to copy it to your system clipboard. So you can do "cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa_do.pub | pbcopy".

[@ashutoshnayak609]

Wait 2 videos at the same time , I am on cloud 9 , thanks Brad.

[@chammidhan]

Awesome tutorial. Simple and to the point!

[@vincentschauer]

Thanks a bunch! Great tutorial, and nice that you left the ssh key part etc. in the final edit, makes me feel normal :D

[@daniel-deverell]

A Headless Wordpress video would be my next choice. Thanks for all you do.

[@anandanhumanoid]

Great learning,Thanks for sharing Brad.

[@ThanhQuoc2010]

Really helpful tutorial! Thanks man!

Thank you for this awesome video and series

[@NoNameChannelSigma]

perfect lesson, thank you for your efforts

[@usmanmudasser5359]

Another great video. Man you are the best. Please add more docker networks and security related videos

[@comedycutout6958]

thank you sir for explaining the docker.

[@ripfire4]

Awesome video! Very casual, down to earth which I can totally connect because I share the same minor frustrations and occasional swearing. Way better than listening to someone reading a script or straight from wikipedia.

[@marcellciszekdruzynski]

Thanks Brad once again!

[@matiasrondan]

Very helpful, thank you! Congratulations for the great content!

[@zt.5677]

This is actually very good! Thanks!

you are amazing dude i have learned so much from you be happy for what you do for world bro

[@nicholaspappas9351]

Awesome video. I'd love to see some more docker videos!

[@javilionaire]

Would love to see some more docker stuff. A tutorial with react/express/mongo + docker would be awesome. Maybe even some Kubernetes at some point!

[@abbie3156]

Is there any technology you don't know! Excellent tutorials. keep up the good work.

[@muthuhari8875]

Hi Brad, please add some videos about debugging on vscode and if possible some testing toturials

[@kiesemedia433]

i really liked seeing this video footage. keep going 😊

[@Szarlus]

Hi! I want to say that your videos are great, I love them. One thing though. Isn't a "link" option more of a legacy, shouldn't we be using "depends_on" in v3? Thank you for your hard work, many of us appreciate it!

[@rtorcato]

If you are new to docker you should run the 'docker system prune' command. If not you may eventually have a bunch of images taking up gigs of space on your drive

[@rahulbasetti700]

U r great Leo doing motivational videos I love ur videos

[@onurtravels]

Doing the ssh configuration is also showing the process, nice 🙂

[@arshadmunir9015]

Excellent tutorial for beginners.

[@restuwahyusaputra7764]

Thanks Brad this is awesome free course

[@dzengiztafa7964]

Thank you Traversy Media. I was looking for a way to publish our MERN project at work on our server. This tutorial pointed me in the right direction to do that. I reckon it is only a matter of linking the NodeJS restAPI to the mongodb & the react frontend through the "links" in your docker compose file?

[@msalameh01]

Many thanks, great explanation

[@nut6977]

Thanks for your perfect tutorials. :)

[@erickloningo2252]

you are a life saver. thanks alot man. really helped me alot

[@SerhiiKozachenko]

Hi Brad! Many thanks for this tutorial! I have a question - while running 'docker-compose up' I am getting in the terminal 'docker-node-mongo exited with code 0' Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

[@SuperToughnut]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@ParasBansal10]

Thanks Brad!

[@thecondor5488]

So glad you messed up with the SSH it definitely helped!! :D

[@BudaSuyasa]

amazing as always

[@DimonEx]

Thanks dude - that was helpful!

[@andrewshwets1316]

Thanks!!! Keep it up Man!

[@AbhishekNigam]

It's a great tutorial!!. Thank you :)

[@sunnynehar]

ThanQ for ur videos brad. All Ur videos are amazing, Could you also please make a video on lamp stack with docker. looking forward to it. ,😉

[@asharma741]

Hi Brad, this whole series is really awesome. I have one question about mongo container. Do we need container for mongo if we are using mongo atlas service ?

[@gustavoalvarez2734]

Great video, you also refreshed me some ssh commands :)

[@GfastGao]

Hi Brads, Awesome awesome tutorial for jump into Docker! thank you for your effort, really appreciate you contribution to the success of my career!

[@GfastGao]

I specifically like the parts you speak out some F* world. Because I think it's the reallity when I coding and also very fun.

[@matthewhanyu6158]

Really great video, and it is very kind of you! Amazing! Thank you! Afterwards, you can create AWS hosting with dockerizing app instead of Deagital Ocean? Really it would be to expect the best video and I think there should be good guys to love you with that! Also hopefully can you make the video AWS + CI/CD + docker? It would be also a great video which attracts more fans!
