Getting Started

1. Install Dependencies (if not already done):

   npm install        # Root
   cd client && npm install
   cd server && npm install

2. Run Development Mode:

   npm run dev

   This runs both client (localhost:5173) and server (localhost:5000) concurrently.

• Server expects MONGO_URI (default: local) and PORT (default: 5000) in server/.env.

Docker Development

To run the application locally using Docker Compose (which includes MongoDB, the Express backend, and the React Vite client):

docker compose up -d

The client will be available at http://localhost:5173 and the server at http://localhost:5001.

Production Deployment

This project includes a Blue-Green deployment script.

1. Ensure your Docker Hub username and image tags are set in the .env file (DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME and IMAGE_TAG).
2. Run the deploy script:

./deploy/deploy.sh

This script handles zero-downtime deployment by switching traffic between active and new container stacks using Nginx.
