Food'oholic is a CRUD App built using the MERN Stack, utilizing Atlas as the cloud MongoDB option for database storage, Express for backend routing, and React for the frontend.

The entire project is hosted in a dockerized environment, requiring setup with Atlas Cloud MongoDB. Follow these steps to create a new project and cluster:

1. Getting Started with Atlas: Review the Atlas documentation for an introduction to MongoDB Atlas.
2. Create a Cluster: Follow the steps outlined in the Create a New Cluster tutorial to create your cluster.

Once you've completed the above steps, click on the Connect button for your cluster to obtain the MongoDB URI necessary for connecting to your cluster. This information will be required in the subsequent steps.

To enable Google OAuth functionality, you need to obtain the necessary credentials from the Google Developers Console. Follow these instructions:

1. Create a Project: If you haven't done so already, create a project on the Google Developers Console.
2. Set Up OAuth Consent Screen: Configure the OAuth consent screen with the required information for your application.
3. Create OAuth Client ID: Generate an OAuth Client ID for your project, specifying the necessary redirect URIs and scopes.
4. Obtain Client ID: After creating the OAuth Client ID, you will receive a GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID. Keep this ID handy as you'll need it in the next steps.

The entire project is set up in a dockerized environment. To get started, ensure you have filled in the relevant information in the docker-compose file:

environment:
    - PORT=27017
    - FOODOHOLIC_DB_URI=<uri-you-got-from-the-above-steps>
    - DENV=development
    - SECRET=<your-secret>
    - SERVER_EMAIL=<send-alerts-to-this-email>
    - SERVER_PASS=<the-email-password>
    - GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<google-oauth-obtained-above>

Replace the placeholders (<...>) with the respective values:

• <uri-you-got-from-the-above-steps>: The MongoDB URI you obtained from the Atlas MongoDB setup.
• <your-secret>: Your chosen secret for securing your application.
• <send-alerts-to-this-email>: An email address to receive alerts from the server.
• <the-email-password>: The password for the email address to send alerts.
• <google-oauth-obtained-above>: The Google OAuth Client ID you obtained in the previous section.

To run Food'oholic in a dockerized environment, you'll need to have Docker installed on your system. Follow the instructions below to install Docker and start the application.

1. Visit the Docker website: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
2. Download and install Docker Desktop for your operating system.
3. Once installed, launch Docker from your applications.

1. Follow the official Docker documentation for Linux installation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

After installing Docker, you can use the following commands to start the Food'oholic application:

1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to the root directory of the Food'oholic project.
3. Use the following commands:

# Start Docker services (required before running the application)
sudo systemctl start docker  # For Linux users (optional, if not already started)

# Start the Food'oholic application using Docker Compose
docker-compose up

The application will now start running in the dockerized environment, and you can access it via your web browser on the localhost port.

Please note that the above commands assume that you have already replaced the placeholders in the docker-compose.yml file with the actual values obtained from the MongoDB setup and Google OAuth credentials sections.
