# 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
```
`VITE_API_BASE_URL_BACKEND` must point to the backend's IP/port as seen from the browser.
Use `localhost` if only accessing from the same machine, or the machine's LAN IP for access from other devices.
---
## Backend (Express.js)
- **Host:** `0.0.0.0` (all interfaces)
- **Port:** `5000`
- **Access URL:** [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000)
**Current setup:**
Runs on all interfaces and allows configured frontend URLs via CORS. Change `FRONTEND_URLS` to match your setup.
**`.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
- `HOST` controls binding: `localhost` = loopback only, `0.0.0.0` = all interfaces (LAN accessible).
- `PORT` controls the service's port. Ports never conflict across separate machines — two office PCs can both run on port 5000 with no issue.
- Frontend uses `VITE_` prefixed variables for client-side access (e.g. `VITE_API_BASE_URL_BACKEND`).
- In production, traffic is routed through Cloudflare Tunnel — see [Cloudflare Tunnel Setup](../README.md#cloudflare-tunnel-setup-remote-access-per-office) in the main README.

**Action for developers:**
1. Copy `.env.example``.env` inside each app folder.
2. Adjust `HOST` / `PORT` if your ports are already taken.
3. Set `VITE_API_BASE_URL_BACKEND` to the backend's LAN IP if accessing from other devices.
4. Run `npm run dev` from the repo root.
