Dev Tools Collection

A collection of development tools packed in Docker containers for quick setup and usage.

Overview

This repository contains Docker Compose configurations for various development tools and databases that are frequently needed during development. Each tool is isolated in its own directory with all necessary configurations.

Available Tools

Tool	Version	Ports	Description
PostgreSQL	14.1	5432	Relational database
Redis	6.2	6380	In-memory data structure store
MongoDB	5.0	27017, 8081 (UI)	NoSQL database with admin UI
Elasticsearch	8.1.2	9200, 9300, 5601 (Kibana)	Search and analytics engine with Kibana
Kafka	Latest	Various	Distributed streaming platform
ClickHouse	22.8.21	58123, 59000	Column-oriented DBMS for analytics
n8n	Latest	5678	Workflow automation tool

Quick Start

Using the Helper Script

A helper script is included to easily manage all services. Make it executable:

chmod +x devtools.sh

The script uses sudo for running Docker commands, so make sure your user has proper permissions.

Start a specific tool:

./devtools.sh up postgres

Start all tools:

./devtools.sh up

Check status of running tools:

./devtools.sh status

Stop a specific tool:

./devtools.sh down redis

Stop all tools:

./devtools.sh down

Manual Usage

Each tool directory contains its own docker-compose.yaml file. To start a tool manually:

cd <tool-directory>
docker-compose up -d

To stop a tool:

cd <tool-directory>
docker-compose down

Configuration

Each tool directory contains:

• A docker-compose.yaml file for the service definition (without version field, as it's optional in newer Docker Compose versions)
• A .env file for configuration (copy from .env.example and modify as needed)
• A README.md with tool-specific instructions

Default Environment Variables

For ease of use, all services have default values configured in the Docker Compose files. You can:

1. Just run the services without any configuration (defaults will be used)
2. Create a .env file in each service directory (use .env.example as a template)
3. Modify the .env file to customize service configuration

The following values are configured with defaults:

• Ports
• Versions
• Usernames/passwords
• Basic service settings

Requirements

• Docker 20.10.x or later
• Docker Compose V2
