Fixing the "couldn't connect to docker daemon" error

Windows Only

Some people have had issues while trying to execute the docker-compose command. To fix this, you will have to run docker-machine env default. This command will print various variables. At the bottom, it will say something similar to @FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('docker-machine env default') DO @%i. Run this command in your shell. You will have to do this command for every shell you want to run docker-compose in (every session).

(optional) Register a new user on the website and grant the admin role by running the following in the mongodb shell. bash use musare db.auth("MUSAREDBUSER","MUSAREDBPASSWORD") db.users.update({username: "USERNAME"}, {$set: {role: "admin"}}) ### Setting up MongoDB - Windows Only 1. In the root directory, create a folder called .database 2. Create a file called startMongo.cmd in the root directory with the contents: "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath "C:\Path\To\MusareNode\.database" Make sure to adjust your paths accordingly. 3. Start the database by executing the script startMongo.cmd you just made - Set up the MongoDB database itself 1. Start MongoDB - Linux Execute systemctl start mongod - Windows Execute the startMongo.cmd script you just made 2. Connect to Mongo from a command prompt mongo admin 3. Create an admin user db.createUser({user: 'admin', pwd: 'PASSWORD_HERE', roles: [{role: 'userAdminAnyDatabase', db: 'admin'}]}) 4. Connect to the Musare database use musare 5. Create the "musare" user db.createUser({user: 'musare', pwd: 'OTHER_PASSWORD_HERE', roles: [{role: 'readWrite', db: 'musare'}]}) 6. Exit exit 7. Add the authentication - Linux 1. Add auth=true to /etc/mongod.conf 2. Restart MongoDB systemctl restart mongod - Windows 1. In startMongo.cmd add --auth at the end of the first line 2. Restart MongoDB ### Setting up Redis - Windows 1. In the folder where you installed Redis, edit the redis.windows.conf file 1. In there, look for the property notify-keyspace-events. 2. Make sure that property is uncommented and has the value Ex.
   It should look like notify-keyspace-events Ex when done. 2. Create a file called startRedis.cmd in the main folder with the contents: "C:\Path\To\Redis\redis-server.exe" "C:\Path\To\Redis\redis.windows.conf" "--requirepass" "PASSWORD" And again, make sure that the paths lead to the proper config and executable. Replace PASSWORD with your Redis password. - Linux 1. In /etc/redis/redis.conf 1. Uncomment notify-keyspace-events and set its value to Ex. 2. Uncomment requirepass foobared and replace foobared with your Redis password. 2. Restart Redis systemctl restart redis
