Docker development setup

The repository's root Docker Compose file runs a local MongoDB container only. For the full frontend, API, and MongoDB setup, follow the local development guide.

Run the frontend container

The frontend also has a standalone development container configured in apps/web/docker-compose.dev.yaml. This container runs the frontend only; it does not start the API or MongoDB.

  1. Install and start Docker Desktop or another Docker Compose compatible runtime.
  2. From the repository root, install workspace dependencies as described in the local development guide.
  3. Create apps/web/.env from apps/web/.env.example.
  4. Set VITE_API_URL to the API URL reachable by the browser, such as http://localhost:5050 when the API runs on the host.
  5. Start the frontend container from apps/web:
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml up --build

Open http://localhost:3000/ in a browser. Stop the container with docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml down.

The frontend container uses the frontend's Dockerfile and mounts apps/web/src for development changes. Its environment file contains frontend VITE_ settings; backend settings belong in apps/api/.env.
