docker-compose exec mpm-server bash
# inside container
--> npx sequelize-cli db:migrate
  1. Start the database and server
docker-compose up -d

  1. Connect to the bot endpoint using Bot Framework Emulator
    • Add "172.17.0.1" to the setting "localhost override" in the Emulator
    • Bot URL would be http://localhost:3978/api/v1/messages
