Project Build Instructions

Follow these steps to build and run the application using Docker.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your computer.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone <repo_code>

2. Initialize the Database Create the database by running the init.sql script located in the database folder.

3. Create Configuration File Create an application.properties file under the backend/src/main/resources directory.

Running the Application

1. Navigate to Project Root Change your directory to the project's root folder:

   cd /path/to/bounswe2025group5

2. Build and Run Services Use Docker Compose to build the images and start the frontend and backend services.

   docker-compose up --build

3. Verify Containers Check if the containers are running correctly.

   docker ps -as

4. Access the Application Open your browser and navigate to: http://localhost:3000

Local Development (Optional)

The URL at frontend is "https://waste-less.alibartukonca.org" . If you wish to run the backend on your local machine, you must change the configuration in the frontend code to send API requests to http://localhost:8080.

Troubleshooting

To view the logs for a specific running container:

docker-compose logs <container_name_or_id>
