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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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