Description

Problem Statement

Setting up the development environment for new contributors can be time-consuming and error-prone due to varying local system configurations. A consistent environment is essential to streamline onboarding and ensure the project runs uniformly across all systems.

Proposed Solution

Introduce Dockerfiles for both the frontend and backend services, along with a docker-compose.yml file to spin up both containers simultaneously. Docker will provide a containerized development environment, making it easier for new contributors to get started with minimal setup.

Implementation Steps

  1. Create a Dockerfile for the frontend:

    • Base image: Use node:latest.
    • Install dependencies, copy the project files, and define the start command.
  2. Create a Dockerfile for the backend:

    • Base image: Use openjdk:latest (or another backend-specific image).
    • Copy the project files, install dependencies, and define the start command.
  3. Add a docker-compose.yml file:

    • Define services for both frontend and backend.
    • Configure networking to enable communication between services.
