Simple REST service for storing files and associated metadata using Spring and MongoDB.

To start the service, simply issue the following command: docker-compose up.

This will start the MongoDB instance as well as build and run the Spring Boot service.

To start it in daemon mode, pass the option -d to the compose call.

To stop the service, simply Ctrl-C or, if started in daemon mode, then issue the docker-compose down command.
