VKSMM is a cool service to get the most popular content from your "vk.com" communities

How to:

1. Setup required modules in virtual environment:

$ virtualenv venv
$ venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Create MySQL database

$ mysql -e "create database vksmmdb charset utf8"

3. Run parser [in a screen]

$ screen python vkparser.py

CTRL+A+D to detach the screen, CTRL+C to kill. Actually this is a bad practice but easy to start.

4. Setup NGNIX-server and Gunicorn, following this article, restart it and run app from the project folder, e.g:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
$ cd user/vksmmmtool
$ gunicorn -w 2 -b localhost:8000 server:app --daemon

This project in my portfolio: http://vksmm.info/project/4/

Future steps:

• Write deploy scripts
• Save nginx, gunicorn and upstart scripts for backend and parser
