chore: Setup complete Docker Compose configuration

Comprehensive Docker Compose setup with all services:

Services:
  • MariaDB 11 - Database with persistent storage
  • FastAPI Backend - Python 3.12 with Poetry
  • Next.js Frontend - Node 20 with production build
  • Adminer - Optional database management UI

Features:
  ✓ Health checks for all services
  ✓ Proper dependency ordering (database -> backend -> frontend)
  ✓ Networking with private subnet (172.20.0.0/16)
  ✓ Volume management for data persistence
  ✓ Environment variable configuration
  ✓ Logging configuration (10MB max, 3 files)
  ✓ Restart policies (unless-stopped)

Configuration Files:
  • docker-compose.yml - Production-ready compose file
  • .env - Development environment variables
  • .env.example - Template for environment setup
  • DOCKER_SETUP.md - Comprehensive setup guide

Improvements:
  • Added curl to backend Dockerfile for health checks
  • Better error handling and startup sequencing
  • Database initialization with multiple SQL files
  • Adminer for easy database management (port 8080)
  • Detailed logging with file rotation
  • Production-ready with comments and documentation

Environment Variables:
  Database:
    DB_HOST=mariadb, DB_PORT=3306
    DB_NAME=evoting_db, DB_USER=evoting_user
    DB_PASSWORD=evoting_pass123

  Services:
    BACKEND_PORT=8000, FRONTEND_PORT=3000

  Security:
    SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-change-in-production
    DEBUG=false (for production)

Health Checks:
  • Database: mariadb-admin ping
  • Backend: curl /health endpoint
  • Frontend: wget to port 3000

Volumes:
  • evoting_data - MariaDB persistent storage
  • backend_cache - Backend cache directory

Networks:
  • evoting_network (172.20.0.0/16)
  • Internal service-to-service communication

Quick Start:
  1. cp .env.example .env
  2. docker-compose up -d
  3. http://localhost:3000 (frontend)
  4. http://localhost:8000/docs (API docs)
  5. http://localhost:8080 (database admin)

+# E-Voting System - Docker Setup Guide
+
+Complete guide to running the e-voting system with Docker Compose.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker (20.10 or later)
+- Docker Compose (2.0 or later)
+- Git
+
+Verify installation:
+```bash
+docker --version
+docker-compose --version
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Clone and Navigate
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/e-voting-system
+```
+
+### 2. Create Environment File
+
+Copy the example environment file:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Configure as needed in `.env`:
+
+```env
+DB_HOST=mariadb
+DB_PORT=3306
+DB_NAME=evoting_db
+DB_USER=evoting_user
+DB_PASSWORD=evoting_pass123
+DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpass123
+
+BACKEND_PORT=8000
+FRONTEND_PORT=3000
+
+SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-change-in-production
+
+DEBUG=true
+PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
+
+NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
+```
+
+### 3. Start the Application
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+This will:
+- ✅ Build the backend (FastAPI)
+- ✅ Build the frontend (Next.js)
+- ✅ Start MariaDB database
+- ✅ Start all services with proper networking
+
+### 4. Wait for Services to Be Ready
+
+Check service status:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+NAME                 STATUS              PORTS
+evoting_db           Up (healthy)        0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp
+evoting_backend      Up (healthy)        0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp
+evoting_frontend     Up (healthy)        0.0.0.0:3000->3000/tcp
+evoting_adminer      Up                  0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp

+## Common Commands
+
+### Start Services
+
+```bash
+# Start in foreground (see logs)
+docker-compose up
+
+# Start in background
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Start specific service
+docker-compose up -d backend
+```
+
+### Stop Services
+
+```bash
+# Stop all services
+docker-compose stop
+
+# Stop and remove containers
+docker-compose down
+
+# Stop and remove all data
+docker-compose down -v
+```
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+# View all logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# View specific service logs
+docker-compose logs -f backend
+docker-compose logs -f frontend
+docker-compose logs -f mariadb
+
+# View last 50 lines
+docker-compose logs --tail 50
+```
+
+### Rebuild Services
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild all services
+docker-compose build
+
+# Rebuild specific service
+docker-compose build --no-cache backend
+
+# Rebuild and restart
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+
+### Access Container Shell
+
+```bash
+# Backend shell
+docker-compose exec backend bash
+
+# Frontend shell
+docker-compose exec frontend sh
+
+# Database shell
+docker-compose exec mariadb bash
+```
+
+### Database Operations
+
+```bash
+# Connect to database
+docker-compose exec mariadb mysql -u evoting_user -p evoting_db
+# Password: evoting_pass123
+
+# Backup database
+docker-compose exec mariadb mysqldump -u evoting_user -p evoting_db > backup.sql
+# Password: evoting_pass123
+
+# Restore database
+docker-compose exec -T mariadb mysql -u evoting_user -p evoting_db < backup.sql
+# Password: evoting_pass123
+```
+
+### Health Check
+
+```bash
+# Check service health
+docker-compose exec backend curl http://localhost:8000/health
+
+# View health in ps
+docker-compose ps
+
+# Manual database check
+docker-compose exec mariadb mariadb-admin ping -h localhost -u evoting_user -p
+# Password: evoting_pass123
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Services Won't Start
+
+1. **Check logs**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose logs
+   ```
+
+2. **Check ports are available**:
+   ```bash
+   lsof -i :3000
+   lsof -i :8000
+   lsof -i :3306
+   ```
+
+3. **Remove conflicting containers**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   docker container prune
+   docker system prune
+   ```
+
+4. **Rebuild services**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose build --no-cache
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+### Database Connection Error
+
+1. **Check database is healthy**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose ps mariadb
+   # Should show "Up (healthy)"
+   ```
+
+2. **Check database logs**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose logs mariadb
+   ```
+
+3. **Wait longer for startup**:
+   - MariaDB can take 30-60 seconds to fully initialize
+   - Check health status with `docker-compose ps`
+
+4. **Verify credentials in .env**:
+   ```bash
+   cat .env | grep DB_
+   ```
+
+### Backend Can't Reach Database
+
+1. **Check network**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec backend ping mariadb
+   ```
+
+2. **Check environment variables**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec backend env | grep DB_
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify connection string**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec backend python -c "from backend.config import settings; print(settings.database_url)"
+   ```
+
+### Frontend Can't Reach Backend
+
+1. **Check API URL configuration**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose logs frontend | grep API
+   ```
+
+2. **Test backend availability**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec frontend curl http://backend:8000/health
+   ```
+
+3. **Check NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL**:
+   - For Docker: `http://backend:8000`
+   - For browser: `http://localhost:8000`
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Edit Code and Reload
+
+```bash
+# Changes to backend are auto-reloaded (uvicorn with --reload)
+# Edit files in backend/
+vim backend/routes/votes.py
+
+# Changes to frontend require rebuild
+# Edit files in frontend/
+vim frontend/components/blockchain-viewer.tsx
+
+# Rebuild frontend only
+docker-compose build frontend
+docker-compose up -d frontend
+```
+
+### Access Development Tools
+
+```bash
+# Backend interactive Python
+docker-compose exec backend python
+
+# Frontend package management
+docker-compose exec frontend npm install package-name
+
+# Run frontend build
+docker-compose exec frontend npm run build
+```
+
+### Database Initialization
+
+The database is automatically initialized on first run with:
+- `docker/init.sql` - Schema and tables
+- `docker/populate_past_elections.sql` - Sample data
+
+To reinitialize:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose down -v
+docker-compose up -d mariadb
+# Wait for database to be healthy
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### Environment Configuration
+
+Create `.env` with production values:
+
+```env
+# Change all sensitive values
+DB_PASSWORD=strong-random-password
+DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=strong-random-password
+SECRET_KEY=strong-random-secret-key
+
+# Disable debug
+DEBUG=false
+
+# Set production API URL
+NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://yourdomain.com
+
+# Change ports if needed
+BACKEND_PORT=8000
+FRONTEND_PORT=3000
+```
+
+### Production Build
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest code
+git pull origin main
+
+# Build images
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+
+# Start services
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Verify
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+### Backup Strategy
+
+```bash
+# Automated daily backup
+0 2 * * * docker-compose exec -T mariadb mysqldump -u evoting_user -p"$PASSWORD" evoting_db > /backups/evoting_$(date +\%Y\%m\%d).sql
+
+# Manual backup
+docker-compose exec mariadb mysqldump -u evoting_user -p evoting_db > backup.sql
+```
+
+### Monitoring
+
+```bash
+# View resource usage
+docker stats
+
+# View all logs
+docker-compose logs -f --tail 100
+
+# Check health status
+watch -n 5 docker-compose ps
+```
+
+## Networking
+
+### Service Discovery
+
+Services can communicate within the network:
+- Database: `mysql://evoting_user:evoting_pass123@mariadb:3306/evoting_db`
+- Backend API: `http://backend:8000`
+- Frontend: `http://frontend:3000`
+
+### External Access
+
+From outside Docker:
+- Frontend: `http://localhost:3000`
+- Backend: `http://localhost:8000`
+- Database: `mysql://evoting_user:evoting_pass123@localhost:3306/evoting_db`
+- Adminer: `http://localhost:8080`
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Database
+
+```yaml
+# In docker-compose.yml, adjust mariadb service
+environment:
+  MYSQL_MAX_CONNECTIONS: 100
+  INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE: 256M
+```
+
+### Backend
+
+```yaml
+# Increase Python process
+command: uvicorn backend.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --workers 4
+```
+
+### Frontend
+
+```yaml
+# Increase Node memory if needed
+environment:
+  NODE_OPTIONS: --max-old-space-size=4096
+```
+
+## Security Recommendations
+
+1. **Change default passwords** in `.env`
+2. **Use strong SECRET_KEY** (generate with `openssl rand -hex 32`)
+3. **Enable HTTPS** with reverse proxy (nginx)
+4. **Restrict database access** (bind to local network only)
+5. **Use secrets management** (Docker Secrets, HashiCorp Vault)
+6. **Regular backups** with offsite storage
+7. **Keep images updated** with `docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d --build`
