This application uses the mongo db installed by StackStorm. Since the DB is secured you will need to log into the StackStorm mongo DB as a StackStorm admin and create a separate DB

mongo -u admin -p UkIbDILcNbMhkh3KtN6xfr9h admin (passwd in /etc/st2/st2.config)

db.createUser({user: "appUser",pwd: "passwordForAppUser",roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "app_db" } ]})

app.config['MONGODB_SETTINGS'] = {
        'db': 'app_db',
        'host': 'localhost',
        'port': 27017,
        'username': 'appUser',
        'password': 'passwordForAppUser',
        'authentication_source': 'admin'
        }

Now Flask app can access the st2 mongo database installation

You may need to create the page number database manually. The app will crash when you go to create a new entry in the user log.

If this happens do the following

mongo -u appUser -p passwordForAppUser admin
> use app_db
> db.createCollection('number')
> db.number.insertOne({num:1})
> db.number.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cc84e276e9abf31a65a5f1f"), "num" : 1 }
