MYARIXV-APP

A Flask web app written in Python 3. See the live demo at https://myarxiv.club (at the experimental stage)

Quickstart

All commands below are executed in bash and the working directory is the root of the project, installation of python (pip) and node (npm) is assumed.

First of all, one need to generate main.js and other static files via webpack.

npm install
npm run build # for development static files
npm run deploy # for production static files

• Run the app in development mode, ./run.sh . You can also use npm run all to start both flask and webpack servers for development.

• Run the app in production mode, gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:9999 app.wsgi:app

  For the above two options, you need to take care of dependencies. Try

  pip install -r requirements/prod.txt

  You also need to start celery worker and celery beat manually.

  celery -A app.tasks worker --loglevel=info
  celery -A app.tasks beat --loglevel=info

• Run the flask app in docker (with database configured in the host). In this case, the host url for databases are recommended as 127.0.0.1 in config.yaml.

  docker build . -t myarxiv:latest
  docker run -d --network="host" myarxiv:latest

  For the above three options, you need to configure mysql and redis databases and their connections manually. In Ubuntu, try apt install -y redis-server mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev .

• Run the flask app in docker (with both mysql and redis also in dockers). In this case, the host url for databases are recommended as mysql and redis respectively in config.yaml.

  docker-compose build
  docker-compose up -d

  For all the above options, Nginx can also be added and configured as the reverse proxy in production mode.
