Makefile Usage

This project includes a Makefile with commands for building and running different components of the project using Docker. Here are some of the commands you might find useful:

Building Docker Images

• make build-backend: Builds the Docker image for the backend part of the project.

• make build-frontend: Builds the Docker image for the frontend part of the project.

• make build: Builds the Docker images for both the frontend and backend parts of the project.

Running the Project

• make run: Runs the Docker containers for the project using Docker Compose. This command starts up all the services defined in the docker-compose.yml file, including the frontend, backend, and any databases or other dependencies.

• make stop: Stops all running Docker containers associated with the project's Docker Compose configuration. This command brings down all the services that were started with make run.
