Project fast start up

In a hurry ? Juste type docker-compose up in the root directory. This will start 3 containers : MySQL, backend and frontend together. Liquibase will take care of the database setup. For development purpose, the DB is filled with 5 accounts (password: root) : * Thibaut * Mark * John * Luke * Steve

• You can edit spring.datasource in backend/src/main/resources/application.properties and username and password in backend/src/main/resources/liquibase.properties with your own MySQL login / password
