Database / BetterDB Interview questions
How do you run BetterDB Monitor with a single Docker command?
The quick-start command pulls the default image and maps the dashboard's port to your host:
docker run -d --name betterdb -p 3001:3001 betterdb/monitor:latest
Then open http://localhost:3001 in a browser to reach the dashboard.
To point it at a specific Valkey or Redis instance instead of relying on defaults, add environment variables like DB_HOST, DB_PORT, and DB_PASSWORD to the same docker run command.
This quick-start form uses the default latest image tag and in-memory storage, which is fine for a first look but not for anything you want to keep across a restart – production setups typically add STORAGE_TYPE=postgres and a STORAGE_URL alongside the connection variables.
