Check if database is persisting when using docker-compose

[aileenzeng]

So far it's been fine for this:

docker kill <container-name>
docker-compose up -d db

Killing the container doesn't get rid of the database. I think if the container was removed, then the database would go away too. It seems like it's fine to keep the container running in the background.

Tests

1. What happens after completely removing the docker container?

The database gets wiped :(

2. Can we write to the database? (Probably will need to do this in interactive mode) Will entries stay after we restart the container?

As long as the container doesn't get removed!

3. Is it possible to hook up Valentina Studio (or another client)?

--> Seems like yes. Here are the settings

Connection Method: Standard TCP/IP
Host: localhost
Database: sidewalk
User: sidewalk
Password: sidewalk
Port: 5432
