Docker

One of the most important requirements is Docker, it's how we set up the Database and Grafana server.

The easiest way to install it is by downloading Docker Desktop for your operating system.

After installing Docker you can now run the Database and GraphQL server part of the ground station by running:

docker-compose up

The output should look something like this:

txt

Starting rgs_db_1 ... done
...
Attaching to rgs_db_1, ...

Now check if you can connect to the database directly on a tool like DBeaver, you can use the following credentials:

txt

Host: localhost:5432
Database: postgres
User: postgres
Password: password
Connection URL: postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres

If everything goes right you'll be able to see some tables in the public schema.
