Create the `docker-compose.yml` for Local Development

Labels: good first issue setup gssoc-2026

Contributors need to be able to spin up all Execra services with one command. Build the Docker Compose file that defines all services.

What you'll code:

• Create docker-compose.yml with these services:
  • execra-api: build from Dockerfile, port 8000:8000, depends on execra-db, mounts .env
  • execra-db: uses redis:7-alpine image, port 6379:6379
  • execra-frontend: build from frontend/Dockerfile (placeholder), port 3000:3000
• Add healthcheck for execra-api (ping GET /) and execra-db (redis-cli ping)
• Create a minimal Dockerfile for the Python API:

  FROM python:3.11-slim
  WORKDIR /app
  COPY requirements.txt .
  RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
  COPY . .
  CMD ["python", "main.py"]

• Verify docker-compose config validates without errors

Hi @sahoo-tech ,
I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC’26.

Proposed Implementation

I plan to:

• Create a complete docker-compose.yml configuration for all required services:

  • execra-api
  • execra-db
  • execra-frontend

• Configure proper service dependencies, port mappings, and environment variable mounting.

• Add healthchecks for:

  • API service using HTTP GET /
  • Redis service using redis-cli ping

• Create a minimal and optimized Python API Dockerfile based on python:3.11-slim.

• Ensure the compose setup validates successfully using docker compose config.

• Keep the configuration modular and contributor-friendly for easier local development setup.

Please assign this issue to me. Thank you!
