Set up

This site was developed against Python 3.10.12, so you should first have that version of Python installed. Other versions (3.11) probably work too.

Linux Environment

sudo apt update
sudo apt install redis-server
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf # set line `supervised no` to `supervised systemd`
sudo systemctl restart redis
sudo systemctl status redis

App Configurations

• Create a long, random string (import secrets secrets.token_urlsafe(64)) in a file called secret.txt.
• Copy the file called rename_to_configs.py and rename it to configs.py, then configure all the variables in configs.py.
• A new database will be created for you automatically, but if you want to create one manually, run init_database.py. You can also drop-in an existing database.
• Flush redis records redis-cli flushall.
