Spring Boot MongoDB Application

This is a Spring Boot application that connects to a MongoDB database. The application and database are containerized using Docker, and the setup is managed through Docker Compose.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot: Java-based framework used to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring applications.
• MongoDB: NoSQL database used to store the application's data.
• Docker: Platform used to develop, ship, and run applications inside containers.
• Docker Compose: Tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your local machine.
• Docker Compose installed on your local machine.
• Maven installed on your local machine.

Application Structure

• Dockerfile: Defines the Docker image for the Spring Boot application.
• docker-compose.yml: Defines the Docker Compose setup for running the Spring Boot application and MongoDB in separate containers.
• pom.xml: Maven configuration file for building the Spring Boot application.

Setup Instructions

### Step 1: Clone the Repository


git clone <repository-url>
cd <repository-directory>

### Step 2: Build the Spring Boot Application
- mvn clean package

### Step 3: Build the Docker Image
- docker build -t my-springboot-mongo-app:latest .

### Step 4: Run the Application with Docker Compose
- docker-compose up

Accessing the Application

Once the containers are running, the Spring Boot application will be accessible at http://localhost:18012.

Additional Information

MongoDB Data Persistence: MongoDB data is persisted in the host folder /Users/XXXX/DOCKER/mongo/db mapped to /data/db in the MongoDB container.

Spring Boot Application: The application is packaged as a JAR file and copied into the Docker image. Cleaning Up To stop the running containers, use:

docker-compose down

This command stops and removes the containers defined in the docker-compose.yml file.
