NoComment

Comment any resource on the web!

Install

NoComment is available on PyPI under the name no-comment. To install, just run python -m pip install no-comment.

Configure

NoComment is configured using environment variables. See the settings module for a comprehensive list of configuration variables.

All the variable names must be prefixed with NO_COMMENT_. For instance :

# The secret can be generated using the `secrets.token_hex()` function.
$ export NO_COMMENT_SECRET_KEY="XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"

# Additional Python database drivers might be required depending on the DSN.
$ export NO_COMMENT_DSN="sqlite:///data.sqlite"

Authentication

TOTP authentication is provided to be able to login on servers that do not (yet) support the cryptography module. You must install extra dependencies (no-comment[totp]) and enable it explicitly by setting a base32 random secret:

# The secret can be generated using the `pyotp.random_base32()` function.
$ export NO_COMMENT_TOTP_SECRET=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Note that it is a highly insecure way of authenticating, as anyone gaining access to your OTP generator would be able to login.

Initialise

Once configured, you must initialise NoComment's database with the dedicated command:

$ no-comment init-db

Run

NoComment being a Flask application, it can be run using any WSGI server, for instance, with Gunicorn:

$ gunicorn --access-logfile="-" -w 4 -b 127.0.0.1:3000 "no_comment.configuration.wsgi:app()"

You can now access the service at http://127.0.0.1:3000/MY_STREAM_NAME.
