Minimal Dockerized FastAPI and React Boilerplate

The purpose of this repository is to have simple, working code to start a web app with a FastAPI backend and a React frontend, all containerized with Docker for easy setup and deployment. The motivation behind this repository was to have some simple code that I could use to set up a demo or public proof of concept fast and then expand on it.

This is not to be used for a production site:

The frontend and the backend share a Docker container
It doesn't have reverse proxies
It doesn't have authentication
It doesn't have authorization
It doesn't have any kind of database
It doesn't have HTTPS
It doesn't have logging
It doesn't have testing
It doesn't have CI/CD

BUT it works out of the box.
