This is a sample project, generated by docker-compose-nodejs-examples, to help you getting started with Docker Compose and Node.js.

You need, of course, recent versions of Docker and Docker Compose installed. Please refer to the original documention on the Docker website to see how to install them on your system.

GNU Make should also be available on your system. If you have any build tools installed, chances are pretty good that make is already present on your machine.

cd /path/to/express-postgres-react-polyfills-make
make

Depending on the project layout, it might take a few minutes to compile, build and start the app. When done, you can access the app in your browser. On macOS and Linux, this should be http://localhost:3000.

• Skeleton: express
• database: postgres
