Setting up for development

The below steps are only meant for running this code in a development environment. If you intend to run this in production, please see "Running in a Production setting" below.

Use Pyenv to manage multiple Python versions.

# Developed using Python 3.9.5
$ pyenv install 3.9.5

# Set up a Python virtualenv
$ python3 -m venv env
$ source env/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Init the db schema
$ flask --app hidb init-db

# Run the app
# The web app will be accessable at http://localhost:5000/
# Add "-host=0.0.0.0" to allow access from the network; otherwise only localhost is allowed
# This should NOT be used in a production environment!
$ flask --app hidb --debug run

# Run unit tests
$ pytest

# Measure code coverage
$ coverage run -m pytest
$ coverage report
$ coverage html

Running in a Production setting

Use one of the supported methods of deploying a Flask app. There are many options available, both commercial/third-party and self-hosted.
