Wait for all services to be healthy:

  • ✅ collectiq-postgres (healthy)
  • ✅ collectiq-redis (healthy)
  • ✅ collectiq-ml-api (healthy)
  • ✅ collectiq-backend (healthy)
  • ✅ collectiq-frontend (running)

Step 3: Access Application (1 minute)

Open browser: http://localhost:3000

Login as Enterprise:

  • Email: admin@enterprise.com
  • Password: admin123

Or login as DCA:

  • Email: dca@agency.com
  • Password: dca123

🐛 Common Issues & Fixes

Issue 1: Port already in use

Error: port 5000 is already allocated

Fix: Change port in docker-compose.yml:

ports:
  - "5001:5000"  # Changed from 5000:5000

Issue 2: Services not starting

Fix: Reset everything:

docker-compose down -v
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up

Issue 3: Database not seeding

Fix: Check backend logs:

docker-compose logs backend
# Look for "Database initialization complete"

If not initialized, restart backend:

docker-compose restart backend

Issue 4: ML model not found

Fix: Train model manually:

docker-compose exec ml-api python training/train_model.py
docker-compose restart ml-api

📞 Final Verification Before Submission

Run this verification checklist:

# 1. Clean environment
docker-compose down -v

# 2. Fresh start
docker-compose up -d

# 3. Wait 30 seconds for services to initialize
Start-Sleep -Seconds 30

# 4. Check all services are healthy
docker-compose ps

# 5. Test frontend
Start-Process "http://localhost:3000"

# 6. Test backend API
curl http://localhost:5000/api/health

# 7. Test ML API
curl http://localhost:8000/health

All should return success ✅
