# Launch and Verify Installation

> Start Weam AI services and verify everything works correctly

<Info>
  This guide covers service startup, health checks, connectivity testing, and verification steps for both local development and production deployments.
</Info>

## Start Services

Launch your Weam AI application services using Docker Compose.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Local Development">
    **Navigate to project directory and start services:**

    ```bash theme={null}
    cd weam

    # Start all services in detached mode
    docker compose up -d

    # Check service status
    docker compose ps
    ```

    **Expected container status:**
    All services should show "Up" status for successful startup.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Production Deployment">
    **Start services and verify web server:**

    ```bash theme={null}
    # Start services in background
    docker compose up -d

    # Verify NGINX is running
    sudo systemctl status nginx

    # Check SSL certificate status
    curl -I https://your-domain.com
    ```

    **Production checklist:**

    * All Docker containers running
    * NGINX service active
    * SSL certificate valid
    * Domain accessible via HTTPS
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Service Health Verification

Verify each Weam AI service is running correctly and responding to requests.

### Container Status Check

Monitor Docker container health and resource usage:

```bash theme={null}
# Check all containers are running
docker compose ps

# Monitor resource usage
docker stats

# View service logs
docker compose logs frontend
docker compose logs backend
```

### Service Port Configuration

Verify services are listening on correct ports:

| Service                | Port  | Status Check                 |
| ---------------------- | ----- | ---------------------------- |
| **Frontend (Next.js)** | 3000  | `netstat -tlnp \| grep 3000` |
| **Backend (Node.js)**  | 4050  | `netstat -tlnp \| grep 4050` |
| **MongoDB**            | 27017 | Internal container network   |
| **Redis**              | 6379  | Internal container network   |
| **Qdrant Vector DB**   | 6333  | `curl http://localhost:6333` |

## Connectivity Testing

Test API endpoints and service communication to ensure proper functionality.

### Local Development Testing

Test each service endpoint for local development environment:

```bash theme={null}
# Test frontend application
curl http://localhost:3000

# Test backend API health
curl http://localhost:4050/napi/health

# Test vector database
curl http://localhost:6333/health
```

**Expected responses:**

* Frontend: HTML page or redirect response
* Backend API: JSON health status
* Vector DB: Qdrant status information

### Production Deployment Testing

Test production deployment through NGINX proxy:

```bash theme={null}
# Test HTTPS access
curl -I https://your-domain.com

# Test API endpoints through NGINX
curl https://your-domain.com/napi/health

# Verify SSL certificate
openssl s_client -connect your-domain.com:443 -servername your-domain.com
```

**SSL verification checklist:**

* Certificate valid and not expired
* Domain name matches certificate
* Certificate chain complete
* HTTPS redirect working

### Vector Database Test

Test Qdrant vector database for AI functionality:

```bash theme={null}
# Check Qdrant collections
curl http://localhost:6333/collections

# Verify Qdrant health
curl http://localhost:6333/health
```
