• crdb-2 - CockroachDB node
• lb - HAProxy acting as load balancer
• fileserver - NGINX acting as remote file server

Getting started

1. because operation order is important, execute ./up.sh CRDB_ORG CRDB_LICENSE_KEY instead of docker compose up where CRDB_ORG is your CockroachDB Enterprise License Organization and CRDB_LICENSE_KEY is your CockroachDB Enterprise License Key.
2. visit the CockroachDB UI @ http://localhost:8080
3. visit the HAProxy UI @ http://localhost:8081
4. run the following command to view the contents of the backup directory... docker exec -t fileserver ls -la /mnt/cockroach-backups/bank-backup
