MongoDB Docker Application

This repository contains a simple setup for running a MongoDB instance using Docker and Docker Compose. It also includes a basic Python script to test the connection to the MongoDB server.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get your MongoDB server running:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/jhon0010/python-examples.git
cd python-examples

Step 2: Start MongoDB Using Docker Compose

From the root of the cloned directory, run:

docker-compose up -d

This command starts a MongoDB instance in a Docker container. The -d flag runs the container in detached mode.

Step 3: Verify MongoDB is Running

Check if the MongoDB container is running:

docker ps

You should see the MongoDB container listed.

Step 4: Connect to MongoDB from Python

Run the Python script to test the connection:

python mongo_connect.py

If the connection is successful, you'll see a message indicating that you're connected to MongoDB.

Stopping MongoDB

To stop the MongoDB Docker container, run:

docker-compose down

Create a virtual env using this command

1. Set up a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   • Create a new directory for your project.
   • Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the project directory.
   • Create a virtual environment using the following command:

     python3 -m venv myenv
     

   • Activate the virtual environment:
     • On macOS and Linux:

       source myenv/bin/activate
       

     • On Windows:

       myenv\Scripts\activate
       

2. Install all the required dependencies:

   • While inside the virtual environment, install the requirements using pip:

     pip install -r requirements.txt
     

Execute the python main code

Using uvicorn to run the file app with the module app in the port 8000.

The reload flag is used to reload the server automatically when the code is changed.

uvicorn app:app --reload

Run the tests

Go to the test folder and execute the command:

pytest
