Step 1

Update mongo service to add the same credentials:

  mongo:
    image: mongo:latest
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
    volumes:
      - mongo-data:/data/db

Note: Since using environment variables in the FastAPI app, the Mongo URL should look like this: MONGO_URL = “mongodb://root:example@mongo:27017”

Once it’s running, open the browser and go to 👉 http://localhost:8081

Login with: Username: root / Password: example (temporarily setting)

Step 2

docker-compose up --build

This will:

• Start FastAPI backend with hot reload
• Start MongoDB
• Start Mongo Express (for DB UI) (Frontend will not be built automatically in this mode)

Step 3

• Access the frontend (React app) at: http://localhost:3000
• Access the backend (FastAPI app) at: http://localhost:8000

📌 Quick Tips

Visit your app at: http://localhost:8000/docs

View MongoDB UI: http://localhost:8081 (use user: root, password: example)

mongo-seed runs only once at startup to populate your tags collection.

📌 Sample Components for UI

1. Image upload
2. Submit button
3. Display clothing tags + recommendations
