Suppose the repository has been cloned to your current working directory by running the following command,
git clone https://github.com/suminb/transporter.git
cd transporter
Prepare a Python virtual environment. This is not mendatory, but it will make things a bit easier to work with.
virtualenv ~/.virtualenvs/transporter
Then enter the virtual environment.
. ~/.virtualenvs/transporter/bin/activate
Install required Python packages.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy provision.sh.dist to provision.sh.
cp provision.sh.dist provision.sh
Then edit provision.sh to set DB_URI and REDIS_URL.
We need a Redis server. It is recommended to use fully-managed Redis service for production, but it is sufficient to run a Redis server with Docker for development purposes.
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -p 6380:6380 redis
Set up some necessary environment variables.
. provision.sh
Run the app.
python application.py
Then your web application will be accessible via http://localhost:8002. You may change the binding address, port number and the debug mode by setting the following environment variables.
export HOST="0.0.0.0"
export PORT=8002
export DEGUG=0
