# spring-postgres
This repository demonstrates the steps of seamlessly connecting a locally running Spring Boot application to a containerized PostgreSQL database, providing a practical foundation for your development projects. The overall project augment traditional development workflows. Developers maintain their familiar local development environments while offloading specific dependencies into isolated containers. This hybrid model optimizes resource utilization and enhances development efficiency.
## Prerequisite:
- [OpenJDK](https://www.java.com/en/download/)
- [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)
- [Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php)

## Running Postgres in a Docker container
```
docker run --name postgres_container -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d -p 5432:5432 -v postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data postgres
```
## Configuring the application properties
Open `application.properties` in your project's `src/main/resources` directory.
Replace the entries with the actual name of the Postgres host, database and credentials details.
```
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=none
spring.jpa.hibernate.show-sql=true
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=mysecretpassword
spring.datasource.initialization-mode=always
spring.datasource.initialize=true
spring.datasource.schema=classpath:/schema.sql
spring.datasource.continue-on-error=true
```
Save the file once you make the changes by clicking on “Save” option in the top navigation.
## Running the application
- Running the Spring Boot application
- Right-click on your project.
- Select "Run As" -> "Maven Build".
- In the "Goals" field, enter `spring-boot:run`.
## Verify if the Spring Boot is up and running.
