Docker

One of the most important requirements is Docker, it's how we set up the Database and GraphQL 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:

Starting rgs_db_1 ... done
Starting rgs_migration_1 ... done
Starting rgs_hasura_1    ... done
Attaching to rgs_db_1, rgs_migration_1, rgs_hasura_1
...

Now check if you can open the Hasura console by going to http://localhost:4000/console!

If everything went right you should see something like this:

As a bonus, if you want to connect to the database directly on a tool like DBeaver, you can use the following credentials:

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