Getting started (dev)

cp .env.example .env          # review and adjust secrets if needed
docker compose up --build     # starts db + server + client with hot-reload

Service	URL
Frontend	http://localhost:5173
API	http://localhost:3000/api
Health check	http://localhost:3000/api/health

MySQL is exposed on localhost:3306 in dev (user: epitrello, password: epitrello).

Build & run production

cp .env.example .env          # fill in real secrets
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -d

The app is then served on port 80 behind nginx, which also proxies /api to the Express container.

Useful commands

# Stop dev environment
docker compose down

# Wipe dev database volume
docker compose down -v

# Follow server logs
docker compose logs -f server
