Development Guide

Init project

turbo new <your_project_name>

Setup backend requirements

cd <your_project_dir>
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate (venv\Scripts\activate in Windows)
pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: if you failed in pip install -r requirements.txt in Windows, try to install package binaries directly:

• pycrpyto: try to follow this article compiling-pycrypto-on-win7-64, or get the complied pycrypyto library directly: archive_pycrpyto_library.

Init database

Create database with name your_project_name and encoding utf8.

Update SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI in config/development.py as needed.

Then init tables:

flask db upgrade

Run app

Run local server:

flask run

Scaffold commands

turbo new <project>
turbo new --api <project>
turbo new controller <controller>
turbo new action <controller> <action> [-t]
turbo new form <form>
turbo new model <model>
turbo new macro <category> <macro>
turbo new macro <macro>
turbo -v
turbo -h

First Production Deploy

Config server

Install mysql-server, python-virtualenv, git, supervisor, nginx, g++, python-dev, libmysqlclient-dev, libxml2-dev, libxslt-dev on your server.

Install requirements

git clone **.git
cd <your_project_dir>
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Config app

Save config/production_sample.py as config/production.py, update configs in config/production.py as needed and transfer it to server.

Note: remember to update SECRET_KEY in config/production.py! You can generate random secret key as follows:

>>> import os
>>> os.urandom(24)

Init database

Create database with name your_project_name and encoding utf8.

And run:

export MODE=PRODUCTION
flask db upgrade

Copy config files

Update project root path as needed in deploy/nginx.conf and deploy/supervisor.conf.

cp deploy/flask_env.sh /etc/profile.d/
cp deploy/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/<your_project_name>.conf
cp deploy/supervisor.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/<your_project_name>.conf

Start app

service nginx restart
service supervisor restart

Daily Production Deploy

Update HOST_STRING in config with the format user@ip.

Commit your codes and run:

git push && fab deploy

P.S. If you wanna to deploy flask with Apache2, see this post.
