arxlive

arXlive front end using Flask, Zappa and AWS Lambda

To deploy:

1. yarn from inside the arxlive-search directory to install javascript modules
2. create and activate a virtual environment (conda venvs don't seem to work. venv is a good name as it will be ignored by git. It cannot be called arxlive)
3. install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. create an instance config in instance/config.py with FLASKS3_BUCKET_NAME = 'name of the static files bucket'
5. build hierarxy, push static files to S3 and deploy to AWS Lambda with: . deploy.sh

To run locally in development mode:

• python run.py in the root folder

• set export CONFIG_MODE=production to run in production mode with this method

Alternatively:

• set export FLASK_APP=arxlive

• set export FLASK_DEBUG=true

• flask run

• set export FLASK_DEBUG=false to run in production mode with this method
