Sunnah.com Corrections App

Overview

This is hadith corrections app.

python 3+ is required to run the project.

Getting started

Please follow the instructions below.

First create a local .env.local configuration file and update values as needed. A sample file is provided at .env.local.sample.

Run manually:

git clone REPO
cd REPO
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r frontend/requirements.txt
cd frontend
export FLASK_ENV=development FLASK_APP=main.py
flask run --host=0.0.0.0

Or alternatively use docker-compose inside frontend directory which will give a full environment with a MySQL instance loaded with a sample dataset:

docker-compose up

Use --build option to re-build.
Use the -d option to run in detached mode.

You can then visit localhost:5500 to verify that it's running on your machine.

Deployment

Configuration files are located at env.local and uwsgi.ini.

A production ready uWSGI daemon (uwsgi socket exposed on port 5500) can be started with:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build

The corrections ingestor receives corrections (with an API key) at https://corrections.sunnah.com/submit.

How to setup flask mail server configs

For detailed documentation on what each config mean, please vist: https://pythonhosted.org/Flask-Mail/

For the following configs, I have taken gmail as an example.

The server is "smtp.gmail.com".
The port must match the type of security used.
- If using STARTTLS with MAIL_USE_TLS = True, then use MAIL_PORT = 587.
- If using SSL/TLS directly with MAIL_USE_SSL = True, then use MAIL_PORT = 465.
- Enable either STARTTLS or SSL/TLS, not both.
Depending on your Google account's security settings, you may need to generate and use an app password rather than the account password. This may also require enabling 2-step verification. You should probably set this up anyway.

Configurations

MAIL_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT = 587
MAIL_USE_TLS = True
MAIL_USE_SSL = False
MAIL_USERNAME = 'username@gmail.com'
MAIL_PASSWORD = 'app password generated in step 3'
