Installation GUIDE

This documentation is very good, but needs a few changes to make it work (in our case) : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-flask-applications-with-gunicorn-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-22-04

Before starting the app ensure to intall pip packages in requirements.txt Section

• pip install Flask-Login Flask-SQLAlchemy Flask-WTF mysql-connector-python SQLAlchemy cryptography
• You don't need to create wsgi.py, when asked, replace : wsgi:app with 'app:create_app()' .
  • EX : For starting APP with gunicorn : gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 'app:create_app()'
  • In Service File, replace "ExecStart" line with :
    ExecStart=/YOUR_ENV_LOCATION/bin/gunicorn --workers 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 -m 007 'app:create_app()'
    (Adjust the number of workers to your needs)
• you must first run setup.py to create the admin user.
  (it will create a second database in ./var/setup-instance. It will have to be merged in the application database in ./var/app-instance)
