Pixel Pipers Backend

This repository contains the backend code for the Pixel Pipers application.

Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/darkneux/Pixel_Pipers_Backend.git

Create a credentials.json file in the root directory of the project with the following structure:

{
  "username": "<your_username>",
  "password": "<your_password>",
  "token": "<create_a_token>"
}

Replace <your_username> and <your_password> with your desired username and password.
Generate a token with 12 characters and replace <create_a_token>.

Cloudinary Credentials:

To enable image uploading functionality, you'll need to add your Cloudinary credentials to app.py. Follow these steps:

1. Obtain your Cloudinary API credentials (API Key, API Secret, Cloud Name).
2. Open app.py.
3. Find the section where Cloudinary configuration is set up (typically near the top of the file).
4. Replace the placeholders with your actual Cloudinary credentials:

cloudinary.config( 
  cloud_name = "<your_cloud_name>", 
  api_key = "<your_api_key>", 
  api_secret = "<your_api_secret>"
)

Run the application:

python app.py

Docker Setup

Alternatively, you can run the application using Docker.

Build Docker Image:

Build the Docker image by running the following command from the root directory of the project:

sudo docker build -t <image_name> .

Replace <image_name> with your desired name for the Docker image.

Run Docker Container:

Once the Docker image is built, you can run the application within a Docker container using the following command:

sudo docker run -p 80:5000 -v ./PIPE_model:/code/ <image_name>

• -p 80:5000 maps port 80 of the host machine to port 5000 of the Docker container, allowing access to the application.
• -v ./PIPE_model:/code/ mounts the PIPE_model directory from the host machine to /code/ within the container, ensuring that the application can access the required files.
