MERN stack (Docker Compose)

This repository contains a minimal MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) example wired up for Docker Compose.

How to run

1. From the project root run:

docker compose up --build

2. The client will be served at http://localhost:3000 and the server API at http://localhost:5000/api

Notes

• The server connects to MongoDB using the MONGO_URI env var. docker-compose sets this to the mongo service.
• To develop locally without Docker, run npm install in server and client and use the dev scripts.
