FastAPI

experimenting with fastapi

ENV

create a .env file in the main directory

you will need to add: SECRET_IDENTITY='<secret stuff>'

I literally used it to show you can hide whatever you like in there.

Make sure you have docker desktop up and running.

$ docker compose up --build

then click the linked location that fets shown in the terminal.

Create a virtual environment

$ python3 -m venv .venv

source the virtual environment:

$ . ./.venv/bin/activate

install the requirements:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

That should be enough to get it all working

You can run it without docker using:

$ uvicorn main:app --reload

The 'reload' flag is only needed if you want it to load changes as you make it.
