Get Started

1. Copy .env.example to .env (or create your own)
2. docker-compose up -d to start the database
3. pipenv shell
4. FASTAPI_STATICDIGEST_RELOAD=1 uvicorn app.main:create_app --port=8080 --reload

Configuration

• Change the database configuration/credentials in .env and docker-compose.yaml
• Set DEBUG_ADMIN=1 to disable the authorization for the admin panel

Why?

The dependency-injection provided by FastAPI is such a huge improvement over any other python web framework. It's OpenAPI integration is excellent, and it's asgi-first, unlike Flask or Django.

But Django is famous for its admin panel, and the ability to rapidly build server side applications. For this, we include Flask-Admin, and centralied Jinja2 templates as a dependency.
