requirements

  • python3
  • sqlite to index/search text
  • wsgi to expose said app
  • jinja2 + bottle as web framework
  • pandoc

security

  • no authentication: put a reverse proxy in front of it with some login
  • no optimization for performance: put a reverse proxy to prevent hammering
  • pandoc is run to render markdown files, which may have its own problems

what could be better done

  • don't make markdown so much ingrained in this app
