This application accesses a PostGIS database containing information on predefined areas a user might care about (watersheds, basins, and salmon conservation units) and metadata about salmon populations. Its role is to provide data to the SCIP frontend.
The SCIP backend uses Poetry to manage virtual environments and package installation. Once you have Poetry installed and this repository cloned, you can use Poetry to set up and manage the virtual environment:
$ git clone http://github.com/pacificclimate/scip-backend
$ cd scip-backend
$ poetry installThis is a Flask application; it is configured by setting environment variables for Flask to read:
$ export FLASK_APP=scip.wsgi:app #what app to run
$ export DB="postgresql://user:password@server:port/database" #where to get data
$ export FLASK_DEBUG=1 #print error messagesAnd now you should be able to run it:
$ poetry run flask run
