Setup and run the project locally

Prerequisites

This application requires Git and Docker Desktop to be locally installed.

Build and launch the application

In a terminal window:

• First cd to the top project directory. The server code is in the backend directory and the client in the frontend directory.
• Build the backend and frontend docker images with docker-compose build
• Start the backend docker-compose up backend
• In another terminal, start the frontend docker-compose up frontend

Verify the application is running

• Once the database is finished loading, both the server and client should be running.
• A browsable API for the server can be accessed on http://localhost:8000/
• The client application can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/

Cleaning up

• The docker containers can be stopped and cleaned up with docker-compose down --remove-orphans
