MongoDB persistent store

Basically the services stores data in an NeDB persistent file storage in the ./data folder. If you have to use MongoDB, set the MONGO_URI environment variable.

MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost/conduit

Multiple instances

You can run multiple instances of services. In this case you need to use a transporter i.e.: NATS. NATS is a lightweight & fast message broker. Download it and start with gnatsd command. After it started, set the TRANSPORTER env variable and start services.

TRANSPORTER=nats://localhost:4222

To get the Node server running locally with Docker

  1. Checkout the repo git clone https://github.com/ice-services/moleculer-realworld-example-app.git

  2. cd moleculer-realworld-example-app

  3. Start with docker-compose: docker-compose up -d

    It starts all services in separated containers, a NATS server for communication, a MongoDB server for database and a Traefik reverse proxy

  4. Open the http://docker-ip:3000

  5. Scale up services

    docker-compose scale api=3 articles=2 users=2 comments=2 follows=2 favorites=2
