Have you tried running the backend without docker?
and usingnpm run dev?

[kelvin-quida]

on back-end im doing

~ > cd docker/dev
~ > docker compose up -d

after that i run(i already did npm install)
npm run dev

[Br0wnHammer]

Ideally, I would suggest to build Redis and mongoDB docker images. And run server by npm run dev
If npm install is completed.

Hey @kelvin-quida ,

It looks like you've got the redis and mongo images running, that's great.

It appears you can't connect though, have you specified the required variables in the server's .env file? If not, you need to specify some the addresses of the redis and mongo databases wtih environmental variables.
