Quick Start (Local Development)

1. Install Dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Environment Setup Copy the example environment file and configure it:

   cp .env.example .env
   # or manually create .env with the keys from .env.example
   

3. Initialize Database This script will create the database and a default Admin user.

   python init_db.py
   

   Default Admin Credentials:

   • Email: admin@example.com
   • Password: admin123

4. Run the Application

   # Enable debug mode for development
   set FLASK_DEBUG=1
   python app.py
   

   Visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser.

Deployment to Production

1. Security Checks:
   • Ensure FLASK_ENV=production in your .env file.
   • Set FLASK_DEBUG=0.
   • Change SECRET_KEY to a random, long string.

2. WSGI Server: Do not use python app.py in production. Use a production server like waitress (Windows) or gunicorn (Linux).

   For Windows (Waitress):

   pip install waitress
   waitress-serve --port=8080 --call app:create_app
   

3. Database:
   • The app uses SQLite by default (database.db). For high traffic, consider PostgreSQL.
   • Ensure the instance folder and database.db are writable by the server process.
4. Uploads:
   • Images are stored in static/uploads. Ensure this directory persists across deployments.
