How to run

1. Create a .env in the root folder containing JWT_SECRET, MONGO_URL (provided by us in the final submission), a video and image file path FILE_PATH (when using it with docker this must be "/app/media"), as well as a VITE_BACKEND_URL.
2. Create a .env in the frontend folder containing VITE_BACKEND_URL and VITE_COOKIE_DOMAIN (for local testing that's just "localhost").
3. Setup docker
4. Use docker-compose up -d
