   SEARXNG_RESULTS=5  # number of returned search results
   
   MAX_ITERATIONS=5  # Number of automode iterations

Running the Application

1. Start the backend server:

   uvicorn backend:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
   

2. In a new terminal, start the frontend development server from the frontend folder:

   cd frontend
   npm run dev
   

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173/

Usage

Docker

This project includes a Docker configuration

Docker quick start

Set your .env correctly in root

cd into docker folder

docker-compose up -d

Frontend: http://localhost:5173

You can always get the latest image by:

docker pull ghcr.io/bigsk1/claude-plus:latest

Local Docker Setup

1. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your system.

2. Navigate to the project root directory.

3. Build and run the development containers:

   docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build
   

4. Access the application:

   • Frontend: http://localhost:5173

The development setup includes hot-reloading for both frontend and backend, and maps the projects folder to persist data.

VS Code Dev Container Setup

This project also includes a configuration for development using VS Code's Remote - Containers extension.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio Code
• Docker Desktop
• Remote - Containers extension for VS Code

Setup

1. Open the project folder in VS Code.
2. When prompted, click "Reopen in Container", or use the Command Palette (F1) and select "Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container".
3. VS Code will build the dev container and reload the window with the project open inside the container.

Features

• Python 3.12 and Node.js 18 pre-installed
• All project dependencies automatically installed
• Pre-configured linting and formatting tools
• Automatic port forwarding for backend (8000) and frontend (5173)
• Unified development environment across different machines

Usage

Once inside the dev container:

1. The backend server will start automatically on port 8000.
2. The frontend development server will start automatically on port 5173.
3. You can edit files as normal, and changes will be reflected immediately due to volume mounting.
4. Use the integrated terminal in VS Code to run additional commands if needed.

Note: The first time you open the project in the dev container, it may take a few minutes to build. Subsequent loads will be much faster.
