- Flask (+Postgres) backend with AngularJs (+Bootstrap) frontend
- Communication between the backend and admin page is via websockets (Socket.IO) giving real time updates
- Simple tests are implemented in
test.pywhich validate expected behaviours.
The socket implementation can be run with gunicorn or directly. To run from the command line use:
python app.py
Or:
gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 app:app
A Procfile is included to run the app on a Heroku instance.
To set up your own named instance use:
heroku login
heroku git:remote -a [instance] # Add the heroku remote
git push heroku master # Push up the current code
heroku ps:scale web=1
To set up the database add a Postgres database (Hobby Dev level) to your instance using the Heroku interface.
This should automatically add the DATABASE_URL setting to your config variables (see Settings -> Config Variables)
if unsure. The database URL should be in postgres:// format.
To create initial database tables run Python on the Heroku instance.
heroku run python
Then in the interpreter create database tables as follows:
from app import db
db.create_all()
Access your instance at http://[instance].herokuapp.com
