Overview

Building more and more apps within qliksense I run into several personal optimisations that I wan’t to share with you. After a couple of pains I figured out how to workaround those issues and setup an enterprise ready architecture.

Prequesits

1. Install MongoDB
   1. pls. follow the guide on https://www.mongodb.com/download-center#community
   2. or just use a docker image https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo/ (I prefer to go with the docker image – docker-compose.yml)
2. Install strapi – pls. follow the quickstart on https://strapi.io

# Use root/example as user/password credentials
version: '3.1'

services:

  mongo:
    image: mongo
    restart: always
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: admin
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: admin

  mongo-express:
    image: mongo-express
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 27017:8081
    environment:
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: admin
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: admin

You can start your mongoDB container using: docker-compose up -d

After the database is up and running, create a new directory e.g. strapi change into it and start with the installation of strapi using: npm install
