README

Getting started

1.) docker-compose build 2.) docker-compose up -d

• Python Djando web server should be running at http://localhost:8000/
• Vite + React with TS should be avilable at http://localhost:5173/

Troubleshooting

• Make sure you run commands with the correct permissions. (e.g. may need to sure with sudo)
• If you're getting a "port is already allocated" error:
  • Make sure services aren't already running. E.g. run docker-compose down
  • Make sure you don't have any other docker containers running that use the port:
    • sudo docker container ls
    • sudo docker stop [CONTAINER ID]

Notes

How I made this:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install django djangorestframework django-cors-headers psycopg2-binary
django-admin startproject backend
pip freeze > requirements.txt
touch gitignore
code gitignore

.venv/
backend/backend/__pycache__/
backend/db.sqlite3

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Backend"

npm create vite@latest frontend --template react-ts

Select:

• (y)
• React
• Typescript + SWC

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Validate it works; Ctrl + C

cd ../
git add .
git commit -m "Front end"

Then I created the actual containerization; see git history.
