This project is a movie database application made with Python Flask, PostgreSQL and Bootstrap in addition to CSS and HTML. The app enables browsing, registration, rating, and administration of movies, with features like requesting movie additions, password changes, genre sorting, search functionality, and review management.
You can test the application at Fly.io. You might have to refresh the site to get the application running. Accessing admin rights in the application happens with the user in the table above.
| Username | Password |
|---|---|
| admin | admin |
To run the application locally you need to have Python and PostgreSQL installed. Create a .env file in the root directory and specify the database URL and the secret key inside the file, for example as DATABASE_URL=postgresql:///user. After that run the following commands.
# Create virtual environment
$ python3 -m venv venv
# Activate the virtual environment
$ source venv/bin/activate
# Install the requirements
$ pip install -r ./requirements.txt
# Configure the database
$ psql < schema.sql
# Navigate to the right directory
$ cd src
# Run the application
