veronique 0.2.0

Private graph DB / social network

Véronique

A small database for storing entities, links between them and simple properties (e.g. text, color, numbers).

Intended as a private social network/people database to help with memorizing facts about people, but there's not really any features specific to that.

This is meant as a personal, intentionally non-scalable tool. As such, it uses SQLite, and there's no proper packaging yet (mostly because it's not needed). The app is protected from unauthenticated access, but beyond that there's no protection against e.g. XSS. This is a feature, you can put HTML into text fields for example. If you need SSO, MFA, or any other similar features, use a different tool.

Development

• Clone the repo
• Install its dependencies to a venv, e.g. via pip install -e .
• Either: Place a file called veronique_initial_pw containing a password in the working directory. This will be the password of the admin user.
• Or: Run veronique-bootstrap to fill the database with testing data. The password of the admin user will be "admin". This irrevocably overwrites any existing db you may have.
• Run sanic veronique:app --dev

Deployment

For a production environment you can directly install the veronique package, which will get you the latest released version. If you want to be very up-to-date, you can also do the above and just remove the --dev flag. Maybe set up a systemd service for it and point a reverse proxy at it or something. I personally use ansible for deploying new versions.

Missing migrations are automatically applied when restarting the app.
