setup of talawa-api in local machine using docker is giving error regarding "PWD" variable not set correctly

[DipanshuOjha]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

This bug is regarding docker-compose.dev.yaml file because of which we are not able to set-up talawa-api in our system.

Expected behavior
It should setup the talawa-api by successfully creating 3 docker containers

1. mongodb
   2.redis-stack-server
   3.minio
   upon which the "talawa-api-dev" services depends

Actual behavior
A clear and concise description of how the code performed w.r.t expectations.
Error indicate that mongodb is not able to established connection with other containers

I have attached the screenshot for more detail

This is a redis-stack-server not found error, which occurs due to the talawa-api container creating a default network when it is first mounted. And then obviously there are issues with the caddy service.

I have faced all these issues while trying to set up the project locally and spent hours finding the fix. I would love to take it up!

@pranshugupta54 I have unassigned myself from one of the issues as it was already fixed.

[DipanshuOjha]

Hey
I would also like to work on this issue.

I have found all the fixes. Looking for the Caddyfile fix, will raise a PR in a week

1. Update the setup script to modify the .env file in the root directory of the talawa-api repository to have a PWD entry as shown below. This will set up the "PWD" variable and if we again run the command for docker build, it will get successfully executed.

PWD=.

1. This must only be done when the Docker option is set
2. The "PWD" entry must not be present when the Docker option is not set
3. This behavior must be automatic
4. Valid tests must be written for your work so that this does not happen again.
   1. The setup script has its own set of tests
5. No other functionality must be altered
