Dockerize Backend

Overview

We need to containerize our FastAPI application with SQLite3 database for easier deployment and development environment consistency.

Requirements

• Create a Dockerfile for the FastAPI application
• Configure SQLite3 database persistence
• Ensure proper volume mounting for database files
• Set up appropriate environment variables
• Document build and run commands

Technical Details

• Base the image on Python slim
• Include all dependencies from requirements.txt
• Configure SQLite3 to store data in a persistent volume
• Expose the correct port for the FastAPI server
• Include healthcheck endpoint

Acceptance Criteria

• Container successfully builds without errors
• FastAPI application runs inside the container
• SQLite3 database is accessible and persistent between container restarts
• API endpoints are accessible from outside the container
