🐳 Issue: Dockerize the Application

Description

We need to containerize the entire application using Docker to ensure consistent environment setup, easier deployment, and improved scalability. The goal is to create a production-ready Docker setup that can run the backend, frontend, and database seamlessly using Docker Compose.

Tasks

• Create a Dockerfile for the backend service

  • Install dependencies
  • Expose the necessary port
  • Set up environment variables
  • Add build and start commands

• Create a Dockerfile for the frontend

  • Expose frontend port

• Set up a docker-compose.yml file

  • Define services (backend, frontend, database, etc.)
  • Add volume and network configurations
  • Handle environment variables through .env file

• Update .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files

• Test Docker setup locally

  • Verify the containers build and start successfully
  • Ensure all services communicate properly

Acceptance Criteria

• The entire application can be started using a single command:

  docker-compose up --build
