The Flask Boilerplate Project consists of many projects merged into one to provide the most flexible boilerplate for your flask project.

It is pre-configured for a production Heroku environment, but can be adjusted to suit your needs.

1. Download via git:

    git clone git://github.com/franz-see/FlaskBootstrapSecurity.git
   

2. Change into the cloned directory

    cd FlaskBootstrapSecurity
   

3. Get VirtualEnv and VirtualEnvWrapper set up. See here for further details: http://www.doughellmann.com/docs/virtualenvwrapper/

4. Create a virtualenvironment

    mkvirtualenv environment
   

5. Install the required python dependancies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
   

6. Copy flask_application/config.py.sample into flask_application/config.py and edit flask_application/config.py to change your mail server, password salt and other settings:

    class Config(object):
        SECRET_KEY = '{SECRET_KEY}'
        SITE_NAME = 'Flask Site'
        SITE_ROOT_URL = 'http://example.com'
        LOG_LEVEL = logging.DEBUG
   
        MEMCACHED_SERVERS = ['localhost:11211']
        SYS_ADMINS = ['foo@example.com']
   
        # SQLAlchemy support
        self.SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite://'
        self.DB_MAX_PAGE_SIZE = 20
   
        # Configured for Gmail
        DEFAULT_MAIL_SENDER = 'Admin < username@example.com >'
        MAIL_SERVER = 'smtp.gmail.com'
        MAIL_PORT = 465
        MAIL_USE_SSL = True
        MAIL_USERNAME = 'username@gmail.com'
        MAIL_PASSWORD = '*********'
   
        # Flask-Security setup
        SECURITY_EMAIL_SENDER = 'Security < security@example.com >'
        SECURITY_LOGIN_WITHOUT_CONFIRMATION = True
        SECURITY_REGISTERABLE = True
        SECURITY_RECOVERABLE = True
        SECURITY_URL_PREFIX = '/auth'
        SECUIRTY_POST_LOGIN = '/'
        SECURITY_PASSWORD_HASH = 'pbkdf2_sha512'
        # import uuid; salt = uuid.uuid4().hex
        SECURITY_PASSWORD_SALT = '2b8b74efc58e489e879810905b6b6d4dc6'
   
        # CACHE
        CACHE_TYPE = 'simple'
   

7. Run a development server:

    python manage.py runserver
   

####Required Python Projects:

• unittest2
• Flask
• Flask-Assets
• cssmin
• Flask-WTF
• Flask-Script
• Flask-Mail
• Flask-Cache
• python-memcached
• Flask-Security
• Flask-SQLAlchemy

####Non-Python Projects:

• Twitter Bootstrap

####Contributing Projects:

• https://github.com/hansonkd/FlaskBootstrapSecurity The project's structure is built from this
• Flask-Security Example App
• https://github.com/mbr/flask-bootstrap

##Commands Run these commands by using python manage.py <command>

• reset_db - Drops all DB schema and recreates the schema.
• populate_db - Script to fill the database with new data (either for testing or for initial). You can edit the populate_data command in flask_application/populate.py (Right now it is set up to add Users.)
• runserver - Runs a debug server
• Commands included with Flask-Security can be found here: http://packages.python.org/Flask-Security/#flask-script-commands and by looking in flask_application/script.py

##Templates The base template used Flask-Bootstrap for basic templates. This project can be overridden by adding your own templates to the templates folder or by taking it out.

##Static Content This project is designed to use CSSMin and Flask-Assets to manage Assets to save on bandwidth and requests.

You can find this in the style block of the layout template. You can also simply edit static/css/site.css as that is included in the base setup.

This app is all ready configured to be deployed on Heroku with Mandrill (email).

Simply add the free tiers of those services, change your config.py SERVER_NAME, set the production config with heroku config:set PRODUCTION=yes and deploy normally.
