How to run locally (without Docker, development mode)

Running the frontend

1. Navigate to the frontend directory with cd frontend.

2. Create a .env file in the frontend directory with the following content:

   NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_HOST=localhost
   NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_PORT=9000
   

   This is necessary for the frontend to communicate with the backend.

3. Install dependencies with npm install if you haven't already.

4. Run using npm run dev, changes will be reflected live.

See package.json for further commands to lint, build, etc.

Running the backend

1. Navigate to the backend directory with cd backend.

2. Install dependencies with npm install if you haven't already.

3. Run using npm run dev, changes will be reflected live.

How to run locally (with Docker, production mode)

Make sure you have Docker installed.

1. Run docker compose build in the root directory, this will build the frontend and backend services in production mode, meaning live changes will not be reflected. In the future, you will only need to run either docker compose build frontend or docker compose build backend if you have only made changes to the frontend or backend respectively.

2. Run docker compose up (or docker compose up -d to run in the background) in the root directory, this will start the frontend and backend services.

3. Run docker compose down to stop the services.
