+# How to use Docker for this
+
+You will need the following structure:
+
+```bash
+root/
+├─ evora-server/
+├─ evora-client/
+├─ docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` is a new file that is attached below:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  evora-server:
+    build:
+      context: ./evora-server
+    ports:
+      - "3000:3000"
+    volumes:
+      - ./evora-server:/usr/src/app
+    command: python app.py  # Start the Flask app
+    environment:
+      - FLASK_RUN_HOST=0.0.0.0  # Bind to all interfaces for external access
+      - FLASK_ENV=development   # Optional: Enables Flask debug mode for development
+
+  evora-client:
+    build:
+      context: ./evora-client
+    ports:
+      - "3001:3001"
+    volumes:
+      - ./evora-client:/usr/src/app
+      - /usr/src/app/node_modules  # Add this to map node_modules correctly
+
+    command: npm start  # Start the React app
+    environment:
+      - PORT=3001         # Set the port for the React app
+    depends_on:
+      - evora-server
+```
+
+When you have this structure, go to the root directory and use the following command in the console (install Docker first):
+`docker compose up --build`
+which will build the container and run it. Then you can access the web app at
+
+`http://127.0.0.1:3001`.
+
+Note: When you React or Flask files, you do NOT need to rebuild the container. It will be automatically updated without you having to restart anything.
