Using Docker for development
If you don't want to use compose you can read the following.
Run the following command to set up MariaDB on your local machine.
$ docker run --name iridium-db \
-p 3306:3306 \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=iridium \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=identities \
-e MYSQL_USER=identity-api \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=iridium \
-d mariadb:latest
Now you'll be able to start and stop the MariaDb container with the following commands.
$ docker stop iridium-db
$ docker start iridium-db
