To start server for testing

Start a database server for test

docker run --name mariadb -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=1 -d   mariadb:latest

Then login to database and create user and password for the application. I use root here for convenience.

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = 'root';

Copy flaskenv.sample to .flaskenv and fill out all required information.

cp flaskenv.sample .flaskenv

FLASK_ENV=development  # development|production|testing|default (development)
FLASK_DEBUG=1          # 1 for more debug messages
SECRET_KEY=abd}ddd     # secret key for authentication

DB_SERVER=localhost     # set the hostname of the database here
DB_USER=dbuser          # database username created above
DB_PASSWORD=dbpass      # password for database, remember to update the password

CHROME_DRIVER=/Users/cuong/localdev/python/flask/web_monitor/chromedriver   # set the path to ChromeDriver

• Creating schema

./manage.py shell
db.create_all()

Next start the scheduler server.

python scheduler_server.py

Then, run following

./manage.py runserver

To start server using gunicorn

gunicorn --bind 127.0.0.1:5000 manage:app

check for exposed ip

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' mariadb
