+# Flask API with Swagger in Docker
+
+This repository contains a Flask API with Swagger documentation, running inside Docker containers.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have the following installed:
+
+- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started)
+- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
+
+### Clone the Repository
+
+```sh
+git clone <your-repo-url>
+cd <your-repo-folder>
+```
+
+### Setup and Run the Application
+
+#### 1. Build and Start the Containers
+
+```sh
+docker-compose up --build -d
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- Build the Flask API container.
+- Start the Swagger UI container separately.
+
+#### 2. Verify the Containers are Running
+
+```sh
+docker ps
+```
+
+#### 3. Access the API
+
+- The **Flask API** will be available at:
+  ```
+  http://localhost:5000
+  ```
+- The **Swagger UI** will be available at:
+  ```
+  http://localhost:9000
+  ```
+  You can interact with the API documentation and test endpoints from here.
+
+## Making API Requests
+
+You can send requests using tools like `curl` or Postman:
+
+```sh
+curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/hello
+```
+
+## Stopping the Application
+
+To stop the running containers, use:
+
+```sh
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- If there are permission issues, try running Docker commands with `sudo`.
+- If ports are in use, change them in `docker-compose.yml`.
+- To rebuild the containers, use:
+  ```sh
+  docker-compose up --build -d
+  ```
