• Express Server

• React.JS Client

• MySQL Database

First make sure to open a terminal window to ./backend/node and ./frontend and from there run yarn or npm install in both directories to install the necessary packages. Then, from the root directory of the project, all you need to do is run docker-compose up to have the compose file automatically spin the containers up for you.

If you want to run a terminal in detached mode (so you can close the window and it wont stop the containers) then type docker-compose up -d for a headless start instead.

As always make sure to type docker-compose down to shut the containers down and close everything up.

Hope this helps!
