Start a devel server via docker compose

With a single docker-compose command, we are able to start MongoDB, Redid and our graphql server. See Start devel server section.

Build the docker image of graphql server

Note: You only need to do a build when Dockerfile has changed

docker-compose build

Start devel server

docker-compose up

We are using Fresh for watching source files (*.go) changes, and restarting the graphql server inside a docker container.

You might need the setting below if you got "graphql_1 | inotify_init: too many open files"

fs.inotify.max_user_instances=32768

For arch linux users, you can put this into a config file e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf

Stop devel server

Ctrl - C or

docker-compose down

Add new dependency

glide get github.com/{author}/{packange_name}
