You should have a postgres database and a redis service. If you don't have them, you can easily have them with docker and a couple of commands:

docker run -d --name postgres -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password postgres
docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis:4

Unless you are running a test, you should definitely change that default "password"
