Found this tool somewhere on reddit
https://github.com/GeneralTask/task-manager/tree/master

This seems like a difficult tool to selfhost. I have hosted few apps
earlier but those were direct docker containers.

I see 3 major challenges with this setup:
1. Backend : It creates 2 containers but those are generic DB servers.
Would the dockerfile install the actual code ?
2. Frontend : How to connect with backend
3. Fontawesome pro subscription is a requirement

Any help would be appreciated

Considering it's marked as beta and development stopped in July when
it had consistent commits prior, seems like it might be a dead
project. Backend seems straightforward enough with Dockerfile being
the actual backend service but I'm not familiar enough with frontend
stuff to decipher how to configure the frontend piece. Seems like you
just have to build it and host with any webserver but it's the
configuration part that eludes me.

In `frontend/src/environment.ts` there's a constant responsible for
the API url
