Sphere- Image Backend

Requirements

• Python 3

• Linux, Windows or Mac OSX

• The source code this library

• Docker & docker-compose

Start API

• We recommend using the docker-compose command for running an instance of this API.

  To start an instance of this API using the following command to run it in docker:

  docker-compose up --build --remove-orphans

  If you would like to run it background, use:

  docker-compose up --build -d --remove-orphans

• If you do not wish to run it in docker (why?), please do the following

    virtualenv -p python3 flask
    source flask/bin/activate
    pip3 install -r requirements.txt
    python3 imageapi.py
  

  You also need to change the server address for MongoDB, redis, and MySQL in utils.py, api.py and utils.py respectively to the address where these instances are hosted.

  In addition to this, you will need to run redis-server in a new terminal window using: redis-server

  And run a celery worker to perform background tasks using:

    virtualenv -p python3 flask
    source flask/bin/activate
    celery worker -A imageapi.celery -l info
  

(See, it is easier with docker-compose)

You can then send requests to http://localhost/sphere/api/v1/...

See imageapi.py for more details on endpoints
