Usage

Separate Containers (Recommended)

From the project root directory:

# Standard version
docker-compose -f docker/compose/docker-compose.yml up --build

# Ultra-lite version
docker-compose -f docker/compose/docker-compose.ultra-lite.yml up --build

# Fat version
docker-compose -f docker/compose/docker-compose.fat.yml up --build

Access Points

• Frontend: http://localhost:3000
• Backend API (debugging): http://localhost:8080 (TODO: Remove in production)
• Backend API (via frontend): http://localhost:3000/api/*

Configuration

• Backend URL: Set VITE_API_BASE_URL environment variable for custom backend locations
• Custom Ports: Modify port mappings in docker-compose files
• Memory Limits: Adjust memory limits per variant (2G ultra-lite, 4G standard, 6G fat)

Development vs Production

• Development: Keep backend port 8080 exposed for debugging
• Production: Remove backend port exposure, use only frontend proxy
