-
-Frontend, built with Docker, with routes handled based on the path: http://localhost
-
-Backend, JSON based web API based on OpenAPI: http://localhost/api/
-
-Automatic interactive documentation with Swagger UI (from the OpenAPI backend): http://localhost/docs
-
-Adminer, database web administration: http://localhost:8080
-
-Traefik UI, to see how the routes are being handled by the proxy: http://localhost:8090
-
-**Note**: The first time you start your stack, it might take a minute for it to be ready. While the backend waits for the database to be ready and configures everything. You can check the logs to monitor it.
-
-To check the logs, run:
-
-```bash
-docker compose logs
-```
-
-To check the logs of a specific service, add the name of the service, e.g.:
-
-```bash
-docker compose logs backend
-```
-
-If your Docker is not running in `localhost` (the URLs above wouldn't work) you would need to use the IP or domain where your Docker is running.

 As during local development your app directory is mounted as a volume inside the container, you can also run the migrations with `alembic` commands inside the container and the migration code will be in your app directory (instead of being only inside the container). So you can add it to your git repository.
