Overview

LegalTechTales is a full-stack web application designed for legal technology solutions. It features a Node.js backend, a React frontend, and a MongoDB database, all containerized using Docker.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Git (for cloning the repository)

Installation and Setup

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone [https://github.com/lisiCAO/Legal-Tech-Tales]
   cd legaltechtale

2. Start the Services

   docker-compose up

   This command will build and start the backend, frontend, and database services as defined in the docker-compose.yml file.

Initial Data Seeding

After the services are up and running:

1. Access the backend container's command line:

   docker exec -it [backend-container-id] /bin/bash

2. Run the data seeding script:

   node database/seed.js

   This will populate the database with initial data sets necessary for the application.
