## Compose sample application ### React application with a NodeJS backend and a MySQL database Project structure: ``` . ├── backend │   ├── Dockerfile │   ... ├── db │   └── password.txt ├── compose.yaml ├── frontend │   ├── ... │   └── Dockerfile └── README.md ``` [_compose.yaml_](compose.yaml) ``` services: backend: build: backend ports: - 80:80 - 9229:9229 - 9230:9230 ... db: # We use a mariadb image which supports both amd64 & arm64 architecture image: mariadb:10.6.4-focal # If you really want to use MySQL, uncomment the following line #image: mysql:8.0.27 ... frontend: build: frontend ports: - 3000:3000 ... ``` The compose file defines an application with three services `frontend`, `backend` and `db`. When deploying the application, docker compose maps port 3000 of the frontend service container to port 3000 of the host as specified in the file. Make sure port 3000 on the host is not already being in use. > ℹ️ **_INFO_** > For compatibility purpose between `AMD64` and `ARM64` architecture, we use a MariaDB as database instead of MySQL. > You still can use the MySQL image by uncommenting the following line in the Compose file > `#image: mysql:8.0.27` ## Deploy with docker compose ``` $ docker compose up -d Creating network "react-express-mysql_default" with the default driver Building backend Step 1/16 : FROM node:10 ---> aa6432763c11 ...
