# Flask + React Example

Basic example with a Flask API and a React frontend (Vite).

## Publish to CitadelHosts.com

**All `podman` commands can be replaced with `docker`**

```
podman login registry.citadelhosts.com
podman build -t registry.citadelhosts.com/react-frontend:latest frontend
podman build -t registry.citadelhosts.com/flask-backend:latest backend
podman image push registry.citadelhosts.com/react-frontend:latest
podman image push registry.citadelhosts.com/flask-backend:latest
```


## Backend

```bash
cd backend
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

Flask will run on `http://localhost:5000`.

## Frontend

```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```

Vite will run on `http://localhost:5173` and proxy `/api` to the Flask server.
