Eponyms 2 Web API Server

A Python 3 Flask app serving the web API needed for the Eponyms 2 stack.

Configuration

You can override any settings defined in defaults.py by creating a file settings.py and changing the variables there.

Installation

To develop or run the web app locally, it's best to use a virtual environment containing all necessary modules:

git clone https://github.com/ossus/eponyms-2-web.git
cd eponyms-2-web
virtualenv -p python3 env
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python wsgi.py

You can also use gunicorn to run the app:

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 wsgi

The eponyms-2-web-installer repository has an Ansible role that sets up nginx and upstart to route traffic accordingly and make sure the app is always running.
