This readme provides instructions for building and running the app using Docker Compose.

Before proceeding, make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

The initial brainstorming for the echomail app was done on Whimsical. You can find the diagram here.

To build the echomail app, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Open a terminal or command prompt.
4. Run the following command to build the Docker image:

docker build -t app-name .

To run the echomail app using Docker Compose, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are in the project directory.
2. Open the docker-compose.yml file.
3. Add the necessary environment variables under the environment section.
4. Save the file.
5. Open a terminal or command prompt.
6. Run the following command to start the containers:

docker-compose up -d

Before accessing the app, you need to expose the local port using ngrok. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the containers are up and running.
2. Open a terminal or command prompt.
3. Run the following command to expose the port:

ngrok http port

Replace `port` with the port specified in the Docker Compose file.

4. Once ngrok is running, you can access the app by opening a web browser and navigating to the provided ngrok URL.
