[Good First Issue] Add Docker Compose for full-stack local development

[Oshgig]

Overview

New contributors currently have to manually piece together how to run the full stack (FastAPI backend + React frontend + GEE credentials). A docker-compose.yml would let anyone spin up the entire application with one command.

Scope

• Create Dockerfile for the Python backend (multi-stage: builder + runtime)
• Create Dockerfile for the React frontend (nginx serve static build)
• Create docker-compose.yml with services:
  • api — FastAPI backend
  • frontend — React app served via nginx
  • Optional: mlflow — experiment tracking UI
• Document .env variables needed for Docker in GETTING_STARTED.md
• Ensure GEE service account key can be mounted as a volume

Acceptance Criteria

• docker-compose up starts the full stack on http://localhost:8000 (API) and http://localhost:5173 (frontend)
• Backend can reach GEE when credentials are provided
• Frontend can reach backend API
• No local Python/Node installation required

Resources

• setup.py, requirements.txt — Python dependencies
• frontend/package.json — Node dependencies
• GETTING_STARTED.md — existing onboarding guide

Difficulty: Beginner-friendly to Intermediate
Labels: good first issue, devops, documentation

Hi, I would like to work on this issue.

I noticed there is already a linked PR (#15) for adding Docker Compose setup. Please let me know if this issue is still open for contribution, or if there are any remaining improvements needed such as testing, documentation updates, .dockerignore, or Docker Compose validation.

I would be happy to help.
