git clone git@github.com:gerhean/multasko-backend.git

• Python 3.7 or above
• Docker or Docker Toolbox to host the various servers required in a hassle free manner.

1. Ensure you have virtualenv installed.

   • Follow this guide if necessary and you're on a Windows machine.
   • If you're on a mac e.g. OS X.

2. Ensure you have GNU make installed (Windows only) (Optional).

   • Install chocolatey from here.
   • Then, choco install make.

3. You can create your virtualenv. The steps for Windows look something like as follows:

   make venv 

   This will also install all dependencies as listed in the requirements.txt file.

4. You can activate your virtualenv. This is not required for using make commands. The steps for Windows look something like as follows:

   venv\Scripts\activate 

   You should see a (venv) in front of the prompt on your console/terminal/command prompt. This shows your virtual environment is active.

5. Set up database

   flask db init
   flask db migrate
   flask db upgrade

6. Start flask server

    flask run

These commands are to be executed in the base directory of this repo.

Execute them by typing a make in front of them. For example:

make venv 

• Venv Helpers

  • venv
    • Install dependencies
  • clean-venv
    • Delete the venv folder

• Server

  • runserver
    • Runs the server at http://localhost:5000

Install the pip packages (i)

pip install -r requirements.txt

You can start the flask server using the command below

python manage.py

And now you can visit the site with the URL http://localhost:5000

You can build the image using the command below

docker build -t multasko-backend:latest .

You can Run container in background using the command below

docker run -dp 5000:5000 multasko-backend
