Using the latest Software Engineering practices to create a modern and simple app.

Random Dose of Knowledge

Visit the App! (I no longer host it)

Read the detailed blog post on Towards Data Science!

Frameworks/Software/Technologies/Platforms used:

You want to run the app locally by yourself

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Deffro/random-dose-of-knowledge.git

2. Create a virtual environmental. For example with anaconda/miniconda

conda create -n rdok python=3.8
conda activate rdok

3. Install packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Navigate to app/utils/reddit_api.py and change SECRET_KEY, CLIENT_ID, REDDIT_USERNAME, and REDDIT_PASSWORD to your own (line 63). For the password, you have to create a pswd.txt inside the utils folder.

Done! Go to localhost:8000 to see the app

You also want to dockerize it

1. Install docker.
2. Go to the directory where Dockerfile is
3. docker build -t rdok:1.2 . (don't forget the dot)
4. docker run --name rdok -d -p 80:8000 rdok:1.2

Done! Go to localhost:80 or just localhost to see the app

You also want to deploy it on AWS

I have written the process in full details here.
