Flask template app

Just a suite of approaches which I find useful.

Commands

Run database schema migrations:

alembic upgrade head

Generate secret key:

tr -dc 'a-z0-9!@#$%^&*(-_=+)' < /dev/urandom | head -c50

Generate RSA private/public key pair:

openssl genrsa -out private_key_file.pem 4096
openssl rsa -in private_key_file.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public_key_file.pem

Run unit tests

1. Install poetry
2. Install project dependencies (run in the root directory):

   poetry install

3. Set following environment variables (use .env file):

   export PYTHONPATH=src
   # optional: export TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:port/test_db_name

4. Run tests:

   poetry run pytest

   or

   poetry shell
   pytest
