Use Docker Compose To Run Application Locally And On GitHub Actions

In this video, we are using docker-compose to run Redis and MongoDB containers locally. Our application then connects to those services using exposed ports and environment variables injected using as-a utility. We can run the same docker-compose command on GitHub Actions CI to run the services, and then start the application and run Cypress tests using cypress-io/github-action code.

Is there any way we can access the docker container running inside the Github UI?

This tutorial exposes DB ports to the outside world. That is not a good idea at all.
