+# Welcome to DocsGPT Devcontainer
+
+Welcome to the DocsGPT development environment! This guide will help you get started quickly.
+
+## Starting Services
+
+To run DocsGPT, you need to start three main services: Flask (backend), Celery (task queue), and Vite (frontend). Here are the commands to start each service within the devcontainer:
+
+### Vite (Frontend)
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+npm run dev -- --host
+```
+
+### Flask (Backend)
+
+```bash
+flask --app application/app.py run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=7091
+```
+
+### Celery (Task Queue)
+
+```bash
+celery -A application.app.celery worker -l INFO
+```
