Connection Types

When a service is running, you get two connection methods:

From Docker Containers (DevContainers)

# Use the container name
mysql -h damp-mysql -u developer -p
redis-cli -h damp-redis

From Host Machine

# Use localhost
mysql -h localhost -P 3306 -u developer -p
redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379

Managing Services

Install

Click "Install Service" to:

1. Pull the Docker image
2. Create named volumes for data persistence
3. Create and start the container
4. Display connection information

Start/Stop

Control running services without removing data:

• Start - Starts a stopped service
• Stop - Stops a running service (data persists)

Remove

Completely remove a service:

• Stops the container
• Removes the container
• Keeps the data volume (safe removal)

Service Status

Each service shows its current state:

• 🟢 Running - Service is active and available
• 🔴 Stopped - Service installed but not running
• ⚪ Not Installed - Service not yet installed
