+- **Collaboration**: Share files, leave comments, and communicate seamlessly with your team members.
+- **Time Tracking**: Monitor time spent on tasks and projects for better resource allocation and billing.
+- **Reporting**: Generate detailed reports on project status, team workload, and performance metrics.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+This repository contains the frontend and backend code for Worklenz.
+
+- **Frontend**: Built using React with Ant Design as the UI library.
+- **Backend**: Built using TypeScript, Express.js, with PostgreSQL as the database.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js version v16 or newer
+- PostgreSQL version v15 or newer
+- Docker and Docker Compose (for containerized setup)
+
+## Getting Started

+- PostgreSQL database
+- An S3-compatible storage service (like MinIO) or Azure Blob Storage
+
+### Option 1: Manual Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/worklenz.git
+cd worklenz
+```
+
+2. Set up environment variables
+   - Copy the example environment files
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   cp worklenz-backend/.env.example worklenz-backend/.env
+   ```
+   - Update the environment variables with your configuration
+
+3. Install dependencies
+```bash
+# Install backend dependencies
+cd worklenz-backend
+npm install
+
+# Install frontend dependencies
+cd ../worklenz-frontend
+npm install
+```
+
+4. Set up the database
+```bash
+# Create a PostgreSQL database named worklenz_db
+cd worklenz-backend
+
+# Execute the SQL setup files in the correct order
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/0_extensions.sql
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/1_tables.sql
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/indexes.sql
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/4_functions.sql
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/triggers.sql
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/3_views.sql
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/2_dml.sql
+psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/5_database_user.sql
+```
+
+5. Start the development servers
+```bash
+# In one terminal, start the backend
+cd worklenz-backend
+npm run dev
+
+# In another terminal, start the frontend
+cd worklenz-frontend
+npm run dev
+```
+
+6. Access the application at http://localhost:5000
+
+### Option 2: Docker Setup
+
+The project includes a fully configured Docker setup with:
+- Frontend React application
+- Backend server
+- PostgreSQL database
+- MinIO for S3-compatible storage
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/worklenz.git
+cd worklenz
+```
+
+2. Start the Docker containers (choose one option):
+
+**Using Docker Compose directly**
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+3. The application will be available at:
+   - Frontend: http://localhost:5000
+   - Backend API: http://localhost:3000
+   - MinIO Console: http://localhost:9001 (login with minioadmin/minioadmin)
+
+4. To stop the services:
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Worklenz requires several environment variables to be configured for proper operation. These include:
+
+- Database credentials
+- Session secrets
+- Storage configuration (S3 or Azure)
+- Authentication settings
+
+Please refer to the `.env.example` files for a full list of required variables.
+
+### MinIO Integration
+
+The project uses MinIO as an S3-compatible object storage service, which provides an open-source alternative to AWS S3 for development and production.
+
+- **MinIO Console**: http://localhost:9001
+  - Username: minioadmin
+  - Password: minioadmin
+
+- **Default Bucket**: worklenz-bucket (created automatically when the containers start)
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+For production deployments:
+
+1. Use strong, unique passwords and keys for all services
+2. Do not commit `.env` files to version control
+3. Use a production-grade PostgreSQL setup with proper backup procedures
+4. Enable HTTPS for all public endpoints
+5. Review and update dependencies regularly

 # Worklenz Backend
 
-1. **Open your IDE:**
+This is the Express.js backend for the Worklenz project management application.
 
-   Open the project directory in your preferred code editor or IDE like Visual Studio Code.
+## Getting Started
 
-2. **Configure Environment Variables:**
+Follow these steps to set up the backend for development:
 
-  - Create a copy of the `.env.template` file and name it `.env`.
+1. **Configure Environment Variables:**
-  - Update the required fields in `.env` with the specific information.
 
-3. **Restore Database**
+   - Create a copy of the `.env.example` file and name it `.env`.
-  - Create a new database named `worklenz_db` on your local PostgreSQL server.
+   - Update the required fields in `.env` with your specific configuration.
-   - Update the `DATABASE_NAME` and `PASSWORD` in the  `database/6_user_permission.sql` with your DB credentials.
-  - Open a query console and execute the queries from the .sql files in the `database` directories, following the provided order.
 
-4. **Install Dependencies:**
+2. **Set up Database:**
+   - Create a new database named `worklenz_db` on your local PostgreSQL server.
+   - Update the database connection details in your `.env` file.
+   - Execute the SQL setup files in the correct order:
+   
+   ```bash
+   # From your PostgreSQL client or command line
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/0_extensions.sql
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/1_tables.sql
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/indexes.sql
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/4_functions.sql
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/triggers.sql
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/3_views.sql
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/2_dml.sql
+   psql -U your_username -d worklenz_db -f database/sql/5_database_user.sql
+   ```
+   
+   Alternatively, you can use the provided shell script:
+   
+   ```bash
+   # Make sure the script is executable
+   chmod +x database/00-init-db.sh
+   # Run the script (may need modifications for local execution)
+   ./database/00-init-db.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Install Dependencies:**
 
    ```bash
    npm install
    ```
 
-   This command installs all the necessary libraries required to run the project.
+4. **Run the Development Server:**
 
-5. **Run the Development Server:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
 
-   **a. Start the TypeScript compiler:**
+   This starts the development server with hot reloading enabled.
 
-   Open a new terminal window and run the following command:
+5. **Build for Production:**
 
-      ```bash
+   ```bash
-      grunt dev
+   npm run build
-      ```
+   ```
 
-   This starts the `grunt` task runner, which compiles TypeScript code into JavaScript.
+   This will compile the TypeScript code into JavaScript for production use.
 
-   **b. Start the development server:**
+6. **Start Production Server:**
 
-   Open another separate terminal window and run the following command:
+   ```bash
+   npm start
+   ```
 
-      ```bash
+## API Documentation
-      npm start
-      ```
 
-   This starts the development server allowing you to work on the project.
+The API endpoints are organized into logical controllers and follow RESTful design principles. The main API routes are prefixed with `/api/v1`.
 
-6. **Run the Production Server:**
+### Authentication
 
-   **a. Compile TypeScript to JavaScript:**
+Authentication is handled via JWT tokens. Protected routes require a valid token in the Authorization header.
 
-   Open a new terminal window and run the following command:
+### File Storage
 
-      ```bash
+The application supports both S3-compatible storage and Azure Blob Storage for file uploads. Configure your preferred storage option in the `.env` file.
-      grunt build
-      ```
 
-   This starts the `grunt` task runner, which compiles TypeScript code into JavaScript for production use.
+## Development Guidelines
 
-   **b. Start the production server:**
+- Code should be written in TypeScript
+- Follow the established patterns for controllers, services, and middlewares
+- Add proper error handling for all API endpoints
+- Write unit tests for critical functionality
+- Document API endpoints with clear descriptions and examples
 
-   Once the compilation is complete, run the following command in the same terminal window:
+## Running Tests
 
-      ```bash
+```bash
-      npm start
+npm test
-      ```
+```
 
-   This starts the production server for your application.
+## Docker Support
 
-### CLI
+The backend can be run in a Docker container. See the main project README for Docker setup instructions.
-
-- Create controller: `$ node new controller Test`
-- Create angular release: `$ node new release`
-
-### Developement Rules
-
-- Controllers should only generate/create using the CLI (`node new controller Projects`)
-- Validations should only be done using a middleware placed under src/validators/ and used inside the routers (E.g., api-router.ts)
-- Validators should only generate/create using the CLI (`node new vaidator projects-params`)
-
-## Pull submodules
-- git submodule update --init --recursive

 All database DDLs, DMLs and migrations relates to the application should be stored here as well.

+# Worklenz Database
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+- `sql/` - Contains all SQL files needed for database initialization
+- `migrations/` - Contains database migration scripts
+- `00-init-db.sh` - Initialization script that executes SQL files in the correct order
+
+## SQL File Execution Order
+
+The database initialization files should be executed in the following order:
+
+1. `sql/0_extensions.sql` - PostgreSQL extensions
+2. `sql/1_tables.sql` - Table definitions and constraints
+3. `sql/indexes.sql` - All database indexes 
+4. `sql/4_functions.sql` - Database functions
+5. `sql/triggers.sql` - Database triggers
+6. `sql/3_views.sql` - Database views
+7. `sql/2_dml.sql` - Data Manipulation Language statements (inserts, updates)
+8. `sql/5_database_user.sql` - Database user setup
+
+## Docker-based Setup
+
+In the Docker environment, we use a shell script called `00-init-db.sh` to control the SQL file execution order:
+
+1. The shell script creates a `sql/` subdirectory if it doesn't exist
+2. It copies all .sql files into this subdirectory
+3. It executes the SQL files from the subdirectory in the correct order
+
+This approach prevents the SQL files from being executed twice by Docker's automatic initialization mechanism, which would cause errors for objects that already exist.
+
+## Manual Setup
+
+If you're setting up the database manually, please follow the execution order listed above. Ensure your SQL files are in the `sql/` subdirectory before executing the script.
