How to Run the Application?

1. Install Required Programs

Install npm to build the frontend. Follow this tutorial.

Then, in the frontend/app directory, run:

npm install

This will install all required dependencies.

2. Building the Frontend

Navigate to frontend/app and run:

./build.sh

This will create a dist folder inside backend/flask-app/app, which is required for the backend.

3. Preparing the Backend

Create a .env file in backend/flask-app/app/app/ with the following template:

MAIL_SERVER=
MAIL_PORT=
MAIL_USERNAME=
MAIL_PASSWORD=

By default, the configuration uses TLS, but this can be changed in __init__.py within the same directory as the .env file.

4. Building and Running the Application

Install Docker and Docker Compose.

Then, navigate to backend/flask-app and run:

docker-compose up --build

This will build and start the Docker container.

5. Testing

Visit http://localhost:5000 to test the app.

1. You need to create an admin user. A temporary button is provided for this (not secure and will be removed later).
2. Log in with:
   • Username: admin
   • Password: admin
3. Access the Admin Panel, where you can add users and data.
4. From here, you can test all application functionalities.
