Both frontend and backend include Dockerfiles:

• Frontend: policyhq-frontend/Dockerfile
• Backend: policyhq-backend/Dockerfile

Backend container exposes port 8000 and includes a health check on /health.

Set environment variables for:

• Database connection (DATABASE_URL)
• Azure storage (AZURE_BLOB_CONNECTION_STRING, AZURE_BLOB_CONTAINER)
• Entra ID config (see policyhq-backend/app/auth/entra_config.py)
• Email provider configuration

Static hosting

The frontend is a Vite app and can be deployed to any static host. It expects the API URL from VITE_API_BASE_URL.
