OpenSource CMS, a simplistic retro CMS, aimed for the Retro community free of charge. Check out the roadmap!
First clone the repository. Once cloned we have to prepare two environments.
- Backend
- Frontend
Assuming python is installed (3.9.13 or higher). Setup a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
Install the requirements in your activated environment
pip install -r requirements.txt
In visual studio code, you can hit F5 with the development environment RUN: Webserver selected.
Outside visual studio code, you have to set the environment variable FLASK_APP pointing to the webserver.py file.
Windows
set FLASK_APP=webserver
Unix
export FLASK_APP=webserver
Then continue
flask run
All commands from this point on are executed inside the frontend folder
cd frontend
Make sure the frontend requirements are installed.
npm install
The frontend can be enabled with hot-reload for easy development, for a production build we use the command
npm run build
This build gets served by Flask.
For hot-reload run the next command along side the backend
npm run watch
!Important: For hot-reload to work properly; First run the frontend followed by the backend
If everything runs correctly, the following links should be available
For this to work correctly, you are required to make a .env file in the root of this repository.
You can use the following .env file as example:
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=SuperSecretPass123
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3888
DB_SCHEMA=retro
EMULATOR_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:81
WARNING: IN THE CURRENT STATUE OF THIS APPLICATION, DO NOT USE THIS ON AN EXISTING DATABASE, ONLY FRESH RETROS
Passwords are encrypted with this CMS, existing passwords will be overwritten and users will lose access to their account. Wait until migration tooling exist or start a fresh retro.
In a terminal where set FLASK_APP=webserver.py has been activated run;
flask db upgrade
which applies the required database tables and upgrades for the CMS to work
