EEHBV Backend Python

EEHBV is a web application developed in the context of the research project Energieeffiziente Energiewandlung in der industriellen Holzbe- und -verarbeitung vom Prozess bis zum Stromnetz (Energy efficient energy conversion in industrial wood working from process to power grid), government-funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

The software supports an optimization process of the energy efficiency of custom machines. Further information can be found in the accompanying manual.

This repository contains the backend for EEHBV, written in Python, developed and tested wit Python 3.9, to be used in combination with the frontend in the repository eehbv-frontend.

Build docker image

To build the docker image run

docker build -t saw-leipzig/eehbv-api .

The Dockerfile references an image markuswb/pandas-flask-sqlalchemy. This can be built with the file Dockerfile_multistage_base which will take some time. But a production ready image exists on Docker Hub and will be downloaded if necessary.

Deployment

The app consists of a frontend and a backend Docker container. Additionally, a MariaDB or MySQL instance is necessary for the database. A complete setup for deployment with docker compose is described in the file docker-compose.all.yml. To start the setup, rename the environment variables file .env.template to .env, adjust the database server settings in it, and run

docker compose -f docker-compose.all.yml up -d

The section for the phpMyAdmin service in docker-compose.all.yml is optional and only for administrative purposes. Only the frontend container should be revealed to a public network.

Development setup

Database setup

Start the database container with

docker compose -f docker-compose.db.yml up -d

After the first start, import the database file eehbv_proto.sql and grant the user eehbv access to it.

Start development server

To start the backend app with the development server, set the environment variables FLASK_APP=eehbv.py and FLASK_CONFIG=development and run


flask run
