git clone https://github.com/Eliran-Turgeman/Collecto.git
cd Collecto

Setup & Running the Application

Collecto uses Docker Compose to run its services, including the email collection API and Redis for caching. To get the application up and running, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you are in the project directory where the docker-compose.yml file is located.
2. Run the following command to build and start the services:

Prod (using the latest image from DockerHub):

docker-compose up --build

Local/Dev (building Dockerfile):

docker-compose --file .\docker-compose.dev.yml up --build

Once the services are up and running:

• The Collecto API will be available at http://localhost:5001
• You can access the Swagger UI (for API testing and exploration) at http://localhost:5001/swagger/index.html

To stop the running containers, use one of the following commands, based on how you started the application:

docker-compose down

docker-compose --file .\docker-compose.dev.yml down --build
