- Frontend: Vue 3 app on http://localhost:8080
- Backend: Flask JSON-RPC API on http://localhost:4000
- PostgreSQL: Database on port 5432
- WebDriver: Selenium service for contract sandboxing
3. Initialize Database (first time only)
genlayer init
Or manually:
docker exec -it genlayer-studio-backend-1 alembic upgrade head
4. Verify Services
# Check all containers are running
docker compose ps
# Test backend health
curl -s http://localhost:4000/health | jq .
# Open frontend
open http://localhost:8080
