# Create (and eventually run) the two containers

## Docker
### Rest server
- docker build -t wcag_resr_server .
- docker run --env-file .env -p 8000:8000 --name wcag_rest_server -d wcag_rest_server
### UI
- docker build -t wcag_ui .
- docker run --env-file UI/.env -p 7860:7860 --name wcag_ui -d wcag_ui


# For network management and env management
## method 1: Run the docker-compose (skip the runs above)

docker-compose up -d

## method 2: or creating a Docker network

### Create a custom network
docker network create wcag-network

### Run the backend container
docker run -d \
  --name wcag_rest_server \
  --network wcag-network \
  --env-file .env \
  wcag_rest_server

# Run the UI container
docker run -d \
  --name wcag_ui \
  --network wcag-network \
  -p 7860:7860 \
  --env-file UI/.env \
  wcag_ui
  
# Important Notes:

- Backend URL in UI: Make sure your UI is configured to connect to the backend using the container name (e.g., wcag_rest_server) not localhost when running in Docker
- Port exposure: Only the UI needs -p flag to expose ports to your host machine
