First, determine your database credentials and add them to your env (for existing databases make sure these are correct, otherwise these values can be anything):

export POSTGRES_USER="<username here>"
export POSTGRES_PASSWORD="<password here>"

Next, start the docker container that instantiates the database:

docker-compose up --build 

If you need this to run in the background:

docker-compose up --build --detach 

Finally, start the monitor process:

python3 -m taskobra.monitor 

docker-compose stop
docker-compose rm 
docker volume rm flask-app-db
