Tip

You can interact with one run now at https://y2mate-clone.vercel.app

Change the Base URL of the API to point to the one we had setup before and enjoy the service.

How to serve both API and Frontend contents from one server

1. Navigate to the backend directory.

   cd backend

2. Create a .env file (configuration file).

   cp configs/env/example .env

3. Update path to frontend directory in the.env file identified by key frontend_dir

   frontend_dir = ../frontend

4. Start the server

   python3 -m fastapi run app

   • Now both API and frontend contents will be served from http://localhost:8000
