# Web Template

A template project to simplify development of web applications.


## Expected Environment

- GNU/Linux
- systemd
- Git, make and python3 are installed
- Python modules flask, waitress and jinja2 are installed

## Current State

**Use it carefully!**

It is already working, but the ```install``` and ```uninstall``` make targets have no checks. In the worst case you could overwrite or delete files on your machine in ```/opt``` or ```/etc/systemd/system```.

## Usage

The idea is that this repositry or any repository based on it is cloned on the production server and the development PC. Independent of the machine you can use it exactly the same. There is a ```debug``` target in the Makefile to test it and an ```install``` and ```uninstall``` target for the production server.

Some examples:

```
# just try it
git clone https://cgit.xengineering.eu/web-template
cd web-template
make debug
firefox http://127.0.0.1:8080/
```

```
# install it on a production server
git clone https://cgit.xengineering.eu/web-template
cd web-template
nano ./src/config.ini  # tweak to your needs
sudo make install
sudo systemctl start <project_name>  # set the project name in config.ini
```

```
# make your own project based on web-template
git clone https://cgit.xengineering.eu/web-template myproject
cd myproject
git remote rename origin template

# get updates from web-template
git fetch template
git merge template/master
```
