12factor-todo

This is a simple TODO application to show the 12 Factor app patterns in action in Python.

Backing Services

The app depends on just Postgres. Any version of modern Postgres would do. For instructions on how to install Postgres on your operating system, have a look here.

Installing Dependencies

The application should run fine on Python 3.8+ as of September 1, 2020

$ git clone https://github.com/palnabarun/12factor-todo.git
$ cd 12factor-todo
$ python -m pip install pipenv
$ python -m pipenv install

Setting up the database

Once Postgres is installed, you have to create the database and the schema.

$ createdb todo
$ psql todo < schema/schema.sql

Running the application

Environment variables

PGHOST	Postgres server hostname. If not set, psycopg2 will use the Postgres unix socket.
PGPORT	Postgres server port. If host is set and port is not set, 5432 will be used as the default.

PGPASSWORD	Password for the above Postgres User. Empty if not set.
PGDATABASE	Database name for the application. MUST BE SET.
