A simple Flask app that serves a plotly network graph, heatmap, or table of association rules on user request. The association rules are calculated using mlxtend.
The user will upload data in .csv, .xls, or .xlsx format. The data is expected to contain the columns InvoiceNo, Description, and Quantity. After uploading the data, the user will select the preferred metric for these plots such as 'confidence', 'lift', or 'leverage'.
Install Docker and Docker compose. Compose version 2 is recommended. You can also run ./install_docker.sh. Run the app locally with docker compose up -d. The app should be accessible on port 5000.
An ecs context must be created and used for deployments. Create an ecs context and switch to it with
docker context create myecscontext
docker context use myecscontext
Note that your DOCKER_HOST environment variable must be unset e.g. unset DOCKER_HOST or docker context use will not work.
You may get errors about ECS not supporting bind mounts from host.
Launch the app with docker compose -p my-app -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up. Note that if -p isn't specified, it will take the project name as the name of directory, which contains the illegal character _.
An alternative to running docker compose is to use CloudFormation.
Create a CloudFormation template with docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml convert > CloudFormation.yml. Replace _ with - everywhere in the template.
Switch back to the default context with docker context use default and run
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> --template-body CloudFormation.yml --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
to create the infrastructure for the app. Note again that --stack-name cannot contain _.
If you have port mappings such as 80:8080 or 443:8443 in your docker-compose.yml file, AWS will throw the error published port can't be set to a distinct value than container port: incompatible attribute. To work around this, use the solution posted here.
You will need to copy your public and private ssh keys to your instance. Follow the instructions here. To clone a single branch, run git clone -b <branch_name> --single-branch <git_repo_url>
Note that on a production server, please set client_max_body_size 50M; on your nginx.conf. Other things that may be worth tweaking are proxy_read_timeout and proxy_connect_timeout.
The sqlite database is stored in /tmp for now. Until a better place is found, the permissions for the db files here must be changed with chmod 666 /tmp/prod.db.
The redis.conf should be edited as follows: daemonize yes and supervised no. The redis server will start once the server is running.
Remember to create a .env file with the following attributes e.g.
DEV_DATABASE_URI=sqlite:///dev.db
PROD_DATABASE_URI=sqlite:///prod.db
FLASK_ENV=production
SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS=False
where the database string takes the form dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database. The list of supported database drivers can be found here.
Install certbot on your machine. Follow these instructions to obtain a certificate for nginx. To keep the certificates automatically renewed, set up a cron job:
crontab -eWhen the editor opens, add the line 0 0 1 */2 * /usr/bin/letsencrypt renew >> /var/log/letsencrypt-renew.log, which will renew the certificates every two months at 00:00 on the first day of the month.
For an AWS Fargate deployment, skip the cron job step. Copy the following files to your local machine:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/www.dealsinmyshop.ml/fullchain.pem
/etc/letsencrypt/live/www.dealsinmyshop.ml/privkey.pem
/etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf
/etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem
Make a directory e.g. mkdir ~/my-letsencrypt && cd ~/my-letsencrypt. Copy the files from letsencrypt into this directory with sudo cp -r /etc/letsencrypt/archive/dealsinmyshop.ml .. Change the owner to ubuntu with sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu dealsinmyshop.ml/. Go back to your local machine and copy the files with scp -i ~/.ssh/my_pemfile.pem user@hostname:~/my-letsencrypt/dealsinmyshop.ml/* /path/to/local/. Rename these files to remove the 1 suffix with for f in *1.pem; do mv "$f" "$(echo "$f" | sed s/1//)"; done.
