fastidius 0.0.15

A full stack web app creator with FastAPI

Fastidius

Fastidius is a CLI tool for creating FastAPI backends, with integrations for deploying to DigitalOcean via Github Actions.

Installation

pip install fastidius

Usage

To initialize a new project, run

fastidius create

This will take you through a few setup instructions, then you'll have a fully fledged FastAPI application ready to go.

Deploying the API on DigitalOcean

Fastidius's real strength lies in it's quick deploy capability for DigitalOcean.

It's currently set up to use Ubunutu droplets. Once you've spin up a brand new droplet on your DigitalOcean account, run this command

export IP_ADDRESS=<Your droplet's IP>
fastidius initialize-server

This will generate another command for running the initializer – this will set up firewalls, add a non-root user (ubuntu), set up docker, and a few other configurations.

Next, we configure caddy server.

fastidius configure-caddy

Caddy is an awesome replacement for Nginx or Traefik, with SSL out of the box and minimal boilerplate. Fastidius will use the above command to set up a new docker container that will manage caddy.

After you've set up your Caddyfile, you can deploy it using

fastidius deploy-caddy

Next, we want to set up the secrets on Github. This will create a CI/CD pipeline automatically.

fastidius github-setup

Once this is all done, pushing to the main branch on github will deploy your API 😏
