Build the Image

Run this command in the directory containing the Dockerfile:

docker build -t flowlitics-backend-image .

Run the Container

docker run -d --env-file .env --name flowlitics-backend -p 2230:2230 flowlitics-backend-image

• Before running the command, you need to create the .env file with the necessary configuration. See .env.example for a template of all required variables.
• Maps port 2230 from the container to the host (-p 2230:2230). Change the first 2230 to your desired external port.
• Runs the container in the background (-d).

docker ps -a

• Lists all containers, including stopped ones.
• Use docker ps to see only running containers.

Stop the Container

docker stop flowlitics-backend
