When it comes to running the code, first download docker. Once you have downloaded Docker, start the deamon and run ./build-container. This only has to be done once. After running this command, run ./start-container to enter the container.

To run frontend code, do npm run dev while in the frontend folder. You can open up a browser and should be able to see the website on http://localhost:5173

To run backend code, open a new terminal, enter the dev container, navigate to the backend folder. Run source ./venv/bin/activate to enter the virtual python environment for the project. Then naviagate into src and run python3 app.py.

Calls to http://localhost:5173/api/* are forwarded to the backend using the Vite development proxy. For production, we will use Nginx as a reverse proxy to achieve this same behavior.
