This project contains a Flask web app along with the necessary files to run it, as well as the corresponding PostgreSQL database.

This web app is containerized using Docker and Docker Compose to simplify execution and ensure compatibility across multiple operating systems.

Windows

1. Install Docker desktop
2. Run the following command in the root of your project (after restarting the terminal)

docker-compose up --build

Linux

1. Install Docker Engine and Docker Compose
2. Run the following command in the root of your project (after restarting the terminal)

docker-compose up --build

The above command will start two connected containers: a web server running the application and a PostgreSQL database.

Once both containers are up and running, you can use Docker Desktop to monitor their status and ensure everything is functioning as expected.

After navigating through the website for some time, you can check the database tables by accessing the 'exec' section of the 'db' container. To do so, log in to the PostgreSQL CLI using the following command:

psql -U postgres -d mydatabase

Once inside the postgre cli you can check the state of the tables.
