I wrote a blog post about the steps I followed to get Cardano GraphQL up and running:

> #### Getting Started
> 
> The project includes an example [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-graphql/blob/master/docker-compose.yml). However, before you start it is important that you understand the interdependencies between each of the project’s services.
> 
> For example, you need to sync the Cardano Node with the blockchain before you use Cardano DB Sync Extended to restore a snapshot (see: [Cardano DB Sync rolling back to genesis](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-db-sync/issues/1061)).
