tarcioscope

A simple tool to look at the sky with a PiKon Telescope (a newtonian tube).

What you will need

Ensure you have virtualenvwrapper setup and a new project is setup for you to workon.

pip install virtualenvwrapper
source `which virtualenvwrapper.sh`

This will create the folder $HOME/.virtualenvs. Then you need to create a project:

mkvirtualenv tarcioscope

Once this repo is cloned, you will need to execute

workon tarcioscope

Then upgrade packaging tools and install dependencies:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the project, simply go from the project's root:

./bin/tarcioscope

It will start a webserver on port 8000 binding to all IP addresses.

The way I'm running this project is having the server part running on port 8000 and the client running as a SPA being served by ngnix on port 80.

What I also have is an nginx configuration that redirects every call to /api to my Python web server running on port 8000.

I found this to be the ideal setup so then I don't have to worry about CORS headers et al.
