Set up and run BACKEND

In this section we will cover:

• How to set up the proyect
• Deploy docker containers for development and production

🛠 Set up the proyect

1. Enter backend directory

cd Backend/

2. Launch Backend dependencies using Docker

This will launch all required dependencies such as MongoDB database for local development

cd Backend/docker/;
./build_and_up_dev_backend.sh;

• More on Docker in Docker docs.

3. Get or create .env file under `Backend/

Development ready enviroment is provided at Backend/docker/. Copy and rename it to .env using the following command:

cd Backend/docker/;
cp env/dev.env ../.env;

• Check upstream development environment file

• More on environments in environment docs.

4. Install the virtual environment and dependencies

🪟 Windows

cd Backend/;
python -m venv venv;
venv/Scripts/activate;
pip install -r requirements.txt;
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt;
pip install -r requirements-test.txt;

🐧 Linux

cd Backend/ &&
python3.11 -m venv venv &&
source venv/bin/activate &&
pip install -r requirements.txt &&
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt &&
pip install -r requirements-test.txt

There's included a script install-all-requirements.sh that install all dependencies from a given directory in an already create virtual environment (Folder has to be named venv). Works both for Windows and Linux.

5. Run the app:

• App will be launched at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
• Swagger docs will be launched at http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs

Standar with hot reload

This will automatically reload the app if changes are made.

python -m app

Debug

Launch the app in debug mode using DEBUG Backend app at VSCODE debug section. Breakpoints selected in code will be triggered.
