Material Design Lite Blog Using Sanic

A Sanic (asynchronous) server running with the blog template from Material Design Lite . Eventually will become a 'live' blog template with an admin dashboard.

Prerequisites

You need several packages first for all pip packages to completely install.

NOTICE:

Working on Windows with Visual C++ v14 installed. Please use instructions here: https://www.scivision.dev/python-windows-visual-c-14-required/

So here is a list of packages required:

python & python-dev >=3.6

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

100% following Sanic's import from config: http://sanic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sanic/config.html#from-a-file For Database connection urls, use https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/engines.html#database-urls

Database type names:

sqlite
mysql
postgresql

Example config:

DB_URI = 'sqlite:///app.db'
DB_TYPE = 'sqlite'
DEMO_CONTENT = False

Either you can create a config file config.py file in same directory as main.py or you may load the program with the location of the file to variable config_file like so:

MY_SETTINGS=/path/to/config_file python3 main.py

Starting Server

To start the server: python3 run.py

To access server: http://127.0.0.1:8000

TODO

1. Finish Database support
2. Admin Page completion
3. Possibly most common plugins for Wordpress sites (Contact Forms, Yoast) as built in features you could enable.
