-# MiBook-Server
\ No newline at end of file
+# 📚 MiBook-Server
+
+A modern RESTful API server built with FastAPI for managing family recipes and cookbook collections.
+
+## 🚀 Tech Stack
+
+- **FastAPI** - Modern, fast web framework for building APIs
+- **PostgreSQL** - Powerful relational database
+- **Redis** - In-memory cache for improved performance
+- **Docker** - Containerization for easy deployment
+- **Python 3.13** - Latest Python version
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+Before running this project, make sure you have installed:
+
+- 🐳 [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started) (version 20.10 or higher)
+- 🐳 [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) (version 2.0 or higher)
+
+## 🛠️ Installation & Setup
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd MiBook-Server
+   ```
+
+## 🚀 Running the Project
+
+### Using Docker Compose (Recommended)
+
+1. **Start all services**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up --build
+   ```
+
+2. **The API will be available at:**
+   - 🌐 API: http://localhost:8000
+   - 📊 Interactive API Docs: http://localhost:8000/docs
+   - 📚 Alternative API Docs: http://localhost:8000/redoc
+
+3. **Stop the services**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   ```
+
+### Running in Development Mode
+
+The project is configured to run in development mode with hot-reload enabled. Any changes you make to the code will automatically restart the server.
+
+## 📦 Services
+
+The project includes three main services:
+
+| Service | Port | Description |
+|---------|------|-------------|
+| 🚀 **API** | 8000 | FastAPI application server |
+| 🗄️ **PostgreSQL** | 5432 | Database server |
+| ⚡ **Redis** | 6379 | Cache server |
+
