# Website Monitoring Platform

This project is a modern website monitoring platform built with Next.js (App Router) for the frontend and a Dockerized Express-based Lighthouse scan worker for performance, SEO, and accessibility analysis.

## Features

- Add and manage websites in a dashboard
- Trigger Lighthouse scans for any website via a button in the dashboard
- View scan results directly in the frontend
- Local development with Docker for the scan worker (Chromium included)
- Modular architecture for future automation, cron jobs, and database integration

---

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (for the frontend)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) (for the scan worker)
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) (for dependency management)

---

### 1. Install Dependencies

```bash
cd website-monitoring-frontend
npm install
```

### 2. Start the Lighthouse Scan Worker (Docker)

Build and run the scan worker container (from the project root):

```bash
docker-compose up --build scan-worker
```

This will:

- Build the worker image (installs Node.js dependencies and Chromium)
- Start the Express server on port 5001 inside the container

### 3. Start the Next.js Frontend

In a separate terminal:

```bash
cd website-monitoring-frontend
npm run dev
```
