Joe Baker's Application of Programming Principles Assignment which received 100/100 marks. This is an eBook library which can store books and their metadata, as well as search for books by title, author, ISBN, or genre. You can also add, edit, and delete books, as well as upload, download, and delete files.
To start the server run:
./server.py
The default host is 0.0.0.0 and port is 80 and you can change it with the --host and --port:
./server.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080
Data is stored in ./data and this can be changed with --data-dir:
./server.py --data-dir /path/to/data/directory/
By default waitress will be used as the WSGI if it is installed and will use werkzeug (the built-in WSGI) if it isn't. To force the server to only use werkzeug add the --werkzeug argument:
./server.py --werkzeug
To stop the server send a KeyboardInterrupt (ctrl + C).
docker run -d \
--name=booklist \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v </your/local/data/dir>:/data \
--restart=always \
