 To first run the application in your local environment you can use 
 
 ```

-make backend_build

 make backend

-or run those commands, listed in ```Makefile```, ***manually*** with your terminal in the repository root directory.

-**Important**: The docker commands were tested on *fedora*. On *Windows* some commands might differ or do not work at all. E. g. `make migrateup`.
-That is due to the fact that on *Windows* the parameters `--privileged=true` and `--network host` do not exist or are handled differently.
