Redislax - Relax with Redis support

A new strange experiment. Clutter-less markdown-enabled text editor, able to save files on a Redis database.

Requirements

• Access to a Redis database,
• Ability to run a Python WSGI server for the Flask app,

Install the Python packages

Inside a virtualenv (preferrably):

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

By default, the application will try to connect on the following database.

REDIS_HOST = 'localhost'
REDIS_PORT = 6379
REDIS_DB = 0

To override this default values, create a local_settings.py file and change these parameters to fit your needs.

Run

Run the following command:

python app.py

and go to the following URL with your browser: http://localhost:5000/.

Serve to the world

If you want to expose this application on the network, you'll have to set your host parameter as follows:

HOST = '0.0.0.0'

To run the application with this setup, you'll have to do it as root:

sudo /home/user/.virtualenvs/MYVIRTUALENV/bin/python app.py

Of course, you can change the port if you need it.
