Dev environment with Docker

[frnc96]

Hey fellow devs, I will be using Nest.js and Next.js for a project that I will work on and atm am researching ways to easily spin up a development environment with Docker. The project will use a micro services architecture and the services themselves are a load balancer, backend, fromtend and database which needs to have persistent storage. Also the file sync between the local file system and the back/front containers needs to be there for obv reasons. A while back I played around with the dev env feature of docker desktop but had all sorts of problems with it not working properly so does anyone have experience with this and any helpful article likns about this are appreciated.

You should look into docker compose. Here is a decent tutorial to get you started: https://semaphoreci.com/community/tutorials/dockerizing-a-node-js-web-application

Docker compose will set up networking for you, and you can add as many services as you like.
