federicoponzi/isitdown repository overview

⁠Isitdown.site

This is the source code for isitdown.site⁠

It's made with:

• Flask (python3.5),
• PostgreSQL,
• HTML5/CSS (with HTML5 boilerplate)
• Was hosted on Heroku (<3 for them) but now it's hosted on Linode (<3 for them too)

⁠Development

Requirements:

• PostreSQL (or at least SQLite)
• Python >= 3.5 Setup:
• Create a user and a database for isitdown.site
• run ./build.sh to create the virtual environment and download the required packages.
• use source .venv/bin/activate to activate the virtual environment
• Add the database connection uri as environment variable: export ISITDOWN_DATABASE_URI=postgresql://username:password@localhost/database. You can also use ISITDOWN_PORT variable to override the default listening port (5000).
• use FLASK_APP=isitdown.dex.py flask run to run the site.
• use python -m pytest to run the tests suite.

⁠Deployment

I've attached flask.wsgi.template used to install it within apache web server.

⁠Environment variables

• ISITDOWN_DATABASE_URI: The database connection string.
• ISITDOWN_PORT: The port to listen on
• FLASK_ENV: With development, it will print useful debug messages.
