Execution

It is bad practice to store passwords in applications. For this reason, sensitive information like account passwords, secret keys, and API keys are stored in environment variables. For simplicity, use the included bash script, env.sh, to create the environment variables before executing the application. With the 'snypit' virtual environment activated, update env.sh with secure credentials and execute the following command:

chmod +x env.sh && . env.sh

To run Ports on your local machine, make sure the 'snypit' virtual environment is activated and that you are in the root ports directory. Enter the following command to start the app:

python run.py

Then, open a browser and go to the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:5000

To use Snypit in a production environment, it is recommended to deploy the app using Gunicorn and Nginx. An example Nginx host file is included, as well as an example systemd service file. These are found in the resources directory.
