Introduce containerization: add .dockerignore, client and server Dockerfiles, and an Nginx config for the frontend. Replace the previous single-service compose with a docker-compose defining frontend (Nginx), backend (Node.js) and mongo services, add a mongo data volume, environment variables and env_file for the backend, and set restart policies. Port mappings: frontend 3000:80, backend 3001:3000. Nginx proxies /api and /socket.io to the backend and applies basic security headers/CSP. Also adjust compose version to 3.8 to support the layout.

Dockerize MERN Stack Environment
Description
This PR introduces a fully containerized development environment using Docker Compose, replacing the manual setup of Node.js and MongoDB. It separates the frontend and backend into distinct services to simulate a production-like architecture (Nginx for static files, Node.js for API).
Changes
server/Dockerfileto containerize the Node.js/Express application.client/Dockerfileandclient/nginx.confto serve static assets via Nginx.docker-compose.ymlto streamline the startup of Frontend, Backend, and MongoDB..dockerignoreand a default.env(derived from.env.example).Verification
The following verification steps were performed via static analysis (due to local Docker environment constraints):
nginx.confhandles static files and proxies/apiand/socket.iorequests to the backend.server.js(Helmet) intonginx.confto ensure no security regression.public/.How to Run
docker-compose up --buildhttp://localhost:3000http://localhost:3000/apimongodb://localhost:27017Checklist
