Notes

Starting the gunicorn server with start-server writes a pid file to the ./logs folder. The stop-server command loads this pid file and sends a TERM signal to kill the process.

Add the @logic.login_required decorator to view functions to check user authentication status.

Tests

Run pytest from the project folder to run all unit tests.
