The project was created with vite.js (vue3). Then I created a sub-directory called "server" for server part. Both frontend and backend share the same package.json.
The frontend code build into "dist" directory. The server uses "dist" as root. This is how production is working.
The frontend code build into "dist" directory. The server (express.js) exposes the "dist" directory as root of the endpoint. This is how production is working.

I personally do not like something need to learn so much and need to config so much before you can finally start the app.
For example, recently, because I am not a python expert, I spent a 2 hours to resolve all problems in order to install and use the Apprise cli. Apprise requires so many hidden requirements, I have to figure out myself how to solve the problems by Google search for my OS. That is painful. I do not want Uptime Kuma to be like this way, so:
- Easy to install for non-Docker users, no native build dependency is needed (at least for x86_64), no extra config, no extra effort to get it run
- Single container for Docker users, no very complex docker-composer file. Just map the volume and expose the port, then good to go
- All settings in frontend.
- Settings should be configurable in the frontend. Env var is not encouraged.
- Easy to use

# How to start the Frontend Dev Server
```bash

PS: You can ignore those scss warnings, those warnings are from Bootstrap that I cannot fix.
1. Set the env var `NODE_ENV` to "development".
1. Start the frontend dev server by the following command.
```bash
npm run dev

It binds to `0.0.0.0:3000` by default.
You can use Vue.js devtools Chrome extension for debugging.
After the frontend server started. It cannot connect to the websocket server even you have started the server. You need to tell the frontend that is a dev env by running this in DevTool console and refresh:
```javascript
localStorage.dev = "dev";
```
So that the frontend will try to connect websocket server in 3001.
Alternately, you can specific `NODE_ENV` to "development".
