Hi future developer!

Here is a guide on how to run and build, and scale this project!

Run and build

First, you need a image for the website.

navigate to website folder in termial

cd website

then build docker image

docker build -t website .

Ops remember to change the image name in the docker-compose file if you name it something else then website

navigate back to root and run

doceker compose up

Now you are running on localhost:5000 (frontend) and localhost:5001 (backend)

Deploying

Docker Swarm or Kubernetes

Scaling

To scale the backend(fast_api) you need to add

deploy: 
  replicas: x

where x is the amount of instances of the service are running across the cluster. Place this under cad-aid-api in docker compose. a reverse proxy, like nginx, is needed to make this work. This support many services/machines to access access the same port.

Future thoughts

Deployment thoughts: Add the containers in kubernetes or docker swarn. might be fun to test more microservice architecture, like putting AI models in different docker containers.
