apg_flask

Flask wrapper around the audio program generator module

Current status

beta+ ... meaning, it runs out of the box:

• locally on my Macbook Pro w/ Catalina 10.15.7, with ffmpeg version 4.4 installed via homebrew;
• on Heroku, with ffmpeg buildpack installed (https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/jonathanong/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-latest) This code also runs on AWS Lambda but requires mods (see branch "heroku" (2a4684c).

Prerequisites

• Some relatively recent version of Python (3.7+)
• FFMPEG with at least the ability to read mp3s and wavs, and write mp3s

Prep for execution

• clone the repo
• cd into it
• create a virtual environment
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• vi .env
• set your environment variables:
  • DEBUG=[True/False]

Run locally (localhost)

• cd into top directory of repo
• flask run
• point browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000/
• fill out the form, submit, and wait for browser to serve up your freshly mixed mp3 file :-)

Run on Heroku

• create new app on Heroku
• install ffmpeg buildpack as above
• point your app at the apg_flask repo on GitHub
• deploy
• point browser at your app's url
• fill out the form, submit, and wait for browser to serve up your freshly mixed mp3 file :-)
