Food Ordering Portal

The Food Ordering Portal is a web application built using the MERN stack that allows:

Customers

Setup (Using Docker)

1. From the cloned directory, run cd backend and run the following command:

cp .env.template .env

2. Fill in the details in the newly created .env file, and save it. This is an essential step, as it contains the credentials for the database.

3. Now, all you need to do is run the following command from the root of the cloned directory:

docker-compose up -d

The application will now be running on http://localhost:80.

Running

docker-compose down

will stop the application.
