Docker Setup for Smart Energy Tracker (Development)

This project uses Docker to run frontend and backend separately, each inside its own container, without using nginx or a production build.

Files Included

1. Dockerfile

A single minimal Node.js image used for both frontend and backend.

  • Installs dependencies
  • Copies project files
  • Exposes ports 5173 (frontend) and 5000 (backend)
  • The command is overridden by docker-compose

2. docker-compose.yml

Handles running two separate services:

frontend service

  • Runs npm run dev
  • Exposes port 5173
  • Supports live reload using file volume mounts

backend service

  • Runs npm start
  • Exposes port 5000
  • Also uses volume mounts for hot reload

Why Docker Compose?

Because we need:

  • Two containers (frontend + backend)
  • Each running different commands
  • Shared code with hot reload
  • Easy up, down, and log management

How to Run

docker-compose up --build

runing url

How to stop

docker-compose down
