deployment

• edit default.config, or make a new file, with the same format, suiting your needs.
  • if you make a new file, you'll need to add it to the arguements when running app.py. Example: python3 app.py my_custom.config
  • app.py assumes you'd like to use default.config otherwise.
• check the big ol' block at the top of app.py to make sure it suits your needs
  • if you use the yikchan.service, the port is always 8000
• check and tweak any of the files under static and templates as desired
  • In HTML templates, {{variables}} are used to insert data from Python code. You can of course edit the surrounding tags, but the underlying data comes from the Flask app. (which is very simple, so you could of course tweak it too.)
• check and tweak forbidden.txt as desired. Each line is a word or phrase that, if included in a post, will prevent it being posted. (Primitive spam prevention measure.)
• run python3 app.py (or gunicorn w/ some proxy if you're doing production. i'm not your mom, i won't judge)
  • You could use make deploy to automate above and also copy the example yikchan.service automatically.
