The product can be easily deployed on Render using Python Deployer (open-source tool).

👉 Step 1: Set UP a Render account

• Create account
• Create an API_KEY
• Attach a credit card to the account
  • Note: Each Python service deployed on Render requires a monthly payment

👉 Step 2: Download Python Deployer

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/deploy-automation-render.git   
$ cd deploy-automation-render
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

👉 Step 3: Set up the ENV as suggested in the deployer help

$ export RENDER_API_KEY=<RENDER_API_KEY>   # mandatory
$ export RENDER_OWNER_ID=<RENDER_OWNER_ID> # needs to have a CC attached, used for Billing

👉 Step 4: Deploy the repo

$ python.exe deployer.py flask https://github.com/app-generator/flask-star-admin "run:app"

The new service should be visible on your Render Dashboard and soon be LIVE.

By default, the app redirects guest users to authenticate. In order to access the private pages, follow this set up:

• Start the app via flask run
• Access the registration page and create a new user:
  • http://127.0.0.1:5000/register
• Access the sign in page and authenticate
  • http://127.0.0.1:5000/login

To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:

👉 Step #1 - Install tools

• NodeJS 12.x or higher
• Gulp - globally
  • npm install -g gulp-cli
• Yarn (optional)

👉 Step #2 - Change the working directory to assets folder

$ cd apps/static/assets

👉 Step #3 - Install modules (this will create a classic node_modules directory)

$ npm install
// OR
$ yarn

👉 Step #4 - Edit & Recompile SCSS files

$ gulp

The generated file is saved in static/assets/css directory.

The project is coded using blueprints, app factory pattern, dual configuration profile (development and production) and an intuitive structure presented bellow:
