+1) Run the "docker-compose.yml" from the root of the project:
+
+ $ docker-compose up
+ ...
+ spring-petclinic-postgres-1 | The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
+ ...
+
+2) Run the app with `spring.profiles.active=postgres` (e.g. as a System property via the command
+ line, but any way that sets that property in a Spring Boot app should work). For example use
+
+ mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=postgres
+
+ To activate the profile on the command line.
