This little web app is for uploading and pinning images in IPFS.
It uses Blockfrost.io in the backend for all IPFS operations.

I originally wrote it to keep my Flask skills sharp and to integrate the ipfs_utils.py script from the previous post.  I love the way it turned out.  This is the first time that I've used Bulma instead of Bootstrap and am growing quite fond of it. It is a pretty easy CSS framework to use.  I did have to put some JavaScript in unfortunately, as the burger menu and notification delete required it.  

I will probably not move forward with actually hosting a Mr. Pinner Pinning Lab, but the code is ready for a first crack at it.

Features

+ Flask app Setup for expansion
+ Default site pages controlled with Flask Blueprints [app/home folder etc]
+ Authentication built in with Flask-Login [app/auth folder]
+ IPFS Upload and Pinning [app/lab folder]
+ Database controlled by SQLAlchemy [SQLite by default]
+ Monitored with New Relic

From the README.md in the Repo, how to set up the web app and get it running locally with Docker

Pre-setup

Clone the repo

GitHub - BitsofJeremy/mr_pinners_pinning_lab

Containers need a local .env file [see the example below]

source .env

Currently the DB needs to be initialized via the manage.py Python script in app directory.

Create a virtualenv, then source it, then pip install the requirements

cd app
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then run the manage.py script to create the default tables

python manage.py --create_db

This will create pinning_lab.db

You are now ready to cd .. back to the main folder and run the docker-compose command

Now Built with Docker!

Run Docker compose

docker-compose up --build -d

This will build four containers.

docker ps

Once built and running go to http://localhost to signup and login

EXAMPLE local .env file

export DOCKER_BUILD_NUM='latest'
export FLASK_APP=app.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
export FLASK_ENV=development

# Misc ENV vars
export TOKEN_SALT='token'

# Blockfrost API
export BLOCKFROST_IPFS=YOUR_API_KEY

# New Relic

export NEW_RELIC_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY
export NEW_RELIC_LABELS='Application:MrPinnersPinningLab;Geo:World;Team:DEAFMICE;Environment:development'

Docker tear down and destroy

Stop the containers

docker container stop $(docker container list -q)

Prune the left over chaff

docker system prune -a -f
