# Starting as a container

Starting this project in a container makes testing it really easy. \

```bash
# move to the environment you want to start (here development)
cd ory-dev

# use the example environment for development
cp .env.example .env

# execute the docker compose file
docker compose up -d

# test the consent flow
sh ./hydra-test-consent.sh
```

These commands will start up multiple containers in the background.
Then continue with starting the authentication UI development server as described in the authentication README.

## Services and Ports

As mentioned above, the docker command starts multiple container which interact with each other.
Here you see a list of all services and their exposed ports.
These ports are only exposed to the host machine.
If you start up the environment on a remote server, you will need to tunnel the ports.
