• Docker installed
• Docker Compose installed

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/sameer2210/filehive.git cd filehive

2. Create Docker network

docker network create filehive-network

3. Build and start containers

docker compose up --build

4. Access the application

Frontend: http://localhost:5173 Backend API: http://localhost:5050/api 

5. Stop containers

docker compose down

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• MongoDB installed or MongoDB Atlas account
• Redis installed (optional for local development)
• Cloudinary account
• Resend API key

1. Navigate to Backend directory

cd Backend

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Create .env file

# Database MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string # JWT JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_key # Cloudinary (Required for image uploads) CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloudinary_cloud_name CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_cloudinary_api_key CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_cloudinary_api_secret # Resend Email Service RESEND_API_KEY=your_resend_api_key # Redis (Optional for local development) REDIS_HOST=localhost REDIS_PORT=6379 REDIS_PASSWORD=your_redis_password # Server PORT=5050 NODE_ENV=development FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:5173

cd FrontEnd

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Start development server

npm run dev

4. Build for production

npm run build

User Action (Create Folder/Upload Image) ↓ Component dispatches Redux action ↓ Redux Thunk makes API call ↓ Backend processes request ↓ Redis checks cache (if applicable) ↓ MongoDB query (if cache miss) ↓ Response cached in Redis ↓ Success: Update Redux state ↓ Component callback fires ↓ Fetch updated data from server ↓ useMemo hooks recompute ↓ UI updates automatically 

POST /api/auth/signup - Register new user POST /api/auth/login - User login POST /api/auth/verify-otp - Verify email OTP POST /api/auth/resend-otp - Resend OTP GET /api/auth/me - Get current user POST /api/auth/logout - Logout user 

GET /api/folders - Get all user folders POST /api/folders - Create new folder GET /api/folders/:id - Get folder by ID PUT /api/folders/:id - Update folder DELETE /api/folders/:id - Delete folder 

GET /api/images - Get all user images POST /api/images/upload - Upload image GET /api/images/search?q= - Search images DELETE /api/images/:id - Delete image 

Upload Fails

• Check Cloudinary credentials in .env
• Verify file size is under 10MB
• Ensure supported file format

Database Connection

• Verify MongoDB URI is correct
• Check network connectivity
• Ensure MongoDB Atlas IP whitelist

Redis Connection

• Verify Redis is running locally or cloud credentials are correct
• Check Redis port and host configuration

CORS Issues

• Ensure frontend URL is in FRONTEND_URL env variable
• Check allowed origins in CORS configuration

JWT Errors

• Verify JWT_SECRET is set and consistent
• Check token expiration time
