CLProject Development Environment

This workspace now contains a containerized local development setup based on Node.js, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, Docker Compose, and VS Code Dev Containers.

Services

• app: Node.js development container built from bitnami/node
• db: MariaDB container built from bitnami/mariadb
• phpmyadmin: phpMyAdmin container for database inspection

Open In VS Code

1. Open this workspace in VS Code.
2. Run Dev Containers: Reopen in Container.
3. Wait for the app service to install dependencies and start the server.

The mounted workspace remains editable from VS Code while running inside the container.

Ports

• App: http://localhost:3000
• phpMyAdmin: http://localhost:8080
• MariaDB: localhost:3306

Validate The Environment

After the containers are up, run:

npm run test:environment

The test checks that:

• the Node.js app is reachable
• the app can talk to MariaDB
• the seed table was created successfully

Database Login

• Server: db
• Database: app_db
• User: app_user
• Password: app_password

Root password is configured in .env for local development.
