Run a database in a Docker container
Last modified: 08 March 2021
You can use Docker to run a database in a container as if it were a remote server, and test how your application interacts with it. This tutorial describes how to run a Docker container with a PostgreSQL server and connect to it using IntelliJ IDEA.
Before you begin, make sure that Docker integration is properly configured.
