BrainBoost Application

This guide will help you set up and run the BrainBoost application on your computer using Docker. The application consists of three services: Backend (Spring Boot), Frontend (Angular), and PostgreSQL (database).

---

Prerequisites

Ensure the following tools are installed on your computer:

1. Docker: Install Docker
2. Docker Compose: Comes pre-installed with Docker Desktop.

---

Project Structure

The project is structured as follows:

BrainBoostBackend/
├── BrainBoostFrontend/
│   └── Dockerfile
├── docker-compose.yml
└── Dockerfile

---

Steps to Start the Application

1. Clone the Repository
   Clone the project repository to your local machine:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd project-root

2. Build the Docker Images
   Build the Docker images for all services:

   docker-compose build

3. Start the Application
   Run the following command to start all services:

   docker-compose up

4. Access the Application

   • Frontend: Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost
   • Backend: Accessible at http://localhost:8080
   • PostgreSQL: Database runs on localhost:5432 (if needed)

---

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter any issues, check the logs for each service:

  docker-compose logs <service-name>

  Replace <service-name> with frontend, backend, or db.

• Ensure ports 80, 8080, and 5432 are not in use by other applications.

Stopping the Application

To stop the application, press Ctrl+C in the terminal where docker-compose up is running. Then, remove the containers:

docker-compose down
