An online social media platform for sharing uplifting insights! Only the front-end (HTML and Bootstrap CSS) was completed for school, and I've since hooked it up with a back-end with live data as a fun side project!

Update requirements.txt with currently installed dependencies
pip freeze > requirements.txt
Install dependencies listed in requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
pm2 start pm2.json
Behind the scenes this runs python3 -m gunicorn -w 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:5003 wsgi:app. This runs the app with gunicorn on the right port, then pm2 manages it, handling automatic restarts. -w 1 means just use 1 worker process (doing this because I have only 1 CPU on the virtual server). If you try to run gunicorn without pm2 and want it in the background, you'll need to add the --daemon flag.
