How to Start the Backend Server

Quick Start

The backend is NOT running. Here's how to start it:

Step 1: Navigate to backend directory

cd backend

Step 2: Start the server

python3 -m uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 3000

You should see:

INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:3000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
INFO:     Started reloader process
INFO:     Started server process
🚀 Reminisce Backend starting up...

Step 3: Verify it's running

Open in browser: http://localhost:3000/api/health

Or in terminal:

curl http://localhost:3000/api/health

First Time Setup (if you haven't done this)

If you get errors about missing packages, run these first:

  1. Install backend dependencies:

    cd backend
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

  2. Install ai_service package:

    # From the Reminisce root directory
pip3 install -e ./ai_service

  3. Then start the server:

    cd backend
python3 -m uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 3000

Using the Startup Script

Alternatively, you can use the startup script:

cd backend
./start.sh

This will automatically check for dependencies and start the server.

Keeping It Running

  • The server will keep running until you press Ctrl+C
  • Use --reload flag for auto-reload when you make code changes
  • Keep this terminal window open while developing

Running Both Frontend and Backend

You need TWO terminal windows:

Terminal 1 - Backend:

cd backend
python3 -m uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 3000

Terminal 2 - Frontend:

cd frontend
npm run dev

Both need to be running for the app to work!
