+# 🛰️ Development Hosts & Ports
+
+This document defines the default **host** and **port** used by each app/service
+in this turborepo.  
+Update this file whenever a new service is added or port is changed.
+
+---
+
+## 🌐 Frontend (React + Vite)
+- **Host:** `localhost` (default)  
+  - Use `0.0.0.0` if you need LAN access (phone/other device on same Wi-Fi).  
+- **Port:** `3000`  
+- **Access URLs:**
+  - Local: [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
+  - LAN: `http://<your-ip>:3000` (only if HOST=0.0.0.0)
+
+
+**Current setup:**  
+Frontend is running on `0.0.0.0` and is accessible via the device IP.
+
+**`.env` file:**
+```env
+NODE_ENV=development
+HOST=0.0.0.0
+PORT=3000
+VITE_API_BASE_URL_BACKEND=http://192.168.1.8:5000
+```
+
+Based on backend HOST and PORT. Currently Backend runs on 0.0.0.0 so its accessible all over the same network.
+Change the Backend url if needed, 
+
+And, VITE_API_BASE_URL_BACKEND shows the backend url of the network, make localhost if only own device to work with.
+Or change accordingly with real IP.
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Backend (FastAPI)
+- **Host:** `localhost`  
+- **Port:** `5000`  
+- **Access URL:** [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000)
+
+
+**Current setup:**  
+Currently runs for all network, and allow given frontend urls. Change accordingly.
+
+
+**`.env` file:**
+```env
+NODE_ENV="development"
+HOST=0.0.0.0
+PORT=5000
+FRONTEND_URLS=http://localhost:3000,http://192.168.1.8:3000
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧾 Patient Data Extractor Service
+- **Host:** `localhost`  
+- **Port:** `5001`  
+- **Access URL:** [http://localhost:5001](http://localhost:5001)
+
+
+## 💳 Selenium Service
+- **Host:** `localhost`  
+- **Port:** `5002`  
+- **Access URL:** [http://localhost:5002](http://localhost:5002)
+
+
+## 💳 Payment OCR Service
+- **Host:** `localhost`  
+- **Port:** `5003`  
+- **Access URL:** [http://localhost:5003](http://localhost:5003)
+
+---
+
+## 📖 Notes
+- These values come from per-app `.env` files:
+  - `HOST` controls binding (`localhost` = loopback only, `0.0.0.0` = all interfaces).  
+  - `PORT` controls the service’s port.  
+- Frontend uses additional variables prefixed with `VITE_` for client-side access (e.g. `VITE_API_BASE_URL_BACKEND`).  
+- In production, ports and hosts may differ (configured by deployment platform).  
+
+---
+
+✅ **Action for developers:**  
+1. Copy `.env.example` → `.env` inside each app folder.  
+2. Adjust `HOST` / `PORT` if your ports are already taken.  
+3. Run `npm run dev` from the repo root.
