dockeranay2310/taskflow-server repository overview

⁠TaskFlow Server (Backend)

The official backend API for TaskFlow, a full-stack MERN application designed to manage daily tasks efficiently.
This image runs a lightweight Node.js + Express server optimized for Docker deployments.

⁠🚀 Features

• RESTful API: Endpoints for creating, reading, and deleting tasks
• MongoDB Integration: Uses Mongoose for schema-based data modeling
• Production Ready: Built on node:20-alpine (~50MB image size)
• Security: Runs as a non-root user (node)
• Health Checks: /health endpoint for container monitoring

⁠📦 How to Run

This image is designed to run alongside a MongoDB container.

⁠Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

  server:
    image: dockeranay2310/taskflow-server:v1.0
    container_name: taskflow_server
    environment:
      - PORT=5000
      - MONGO_URI=mongodb://mongo:27017/taskflow
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    depends_on:
      - mongo

  mongo:
