Docker — Development

Local dev uses docker-compose.dev.yml and config/.env.dev.

Services: MongoDB (27017), backend (5001), frontend (5173), Mongo Express (8081). Frontend and backend use hot reload (Vite HMR, ts-node-dev).

Start: docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml --env-file config/.env.dev up -d or use the CLI: Deployment → Deploy Environment → Development.

Project name: The CLI uses explicit project names (e.g. hackportal_dev_lan_https) so down only stops that environment, not the pipeline's testing stack.
