Website is up! www.blacklives.email
Generates a message based on github.com/alandgton/activism-mail-bot (based on template from https://nomoreracistcops.github.io) and prepares an email in mail app to send to 500 elected officials. frontend taken from github.com/michaelnyu/la-mailer.
To run source code :
- Install NPM, Flask, Node.js, Gatsby, and Nginx
- Run 'npm run build && npm run serve' in terminal
- cd into emails folder (in assets folder)
- Run 'export FLASK_APP=messages.py'
- Run 'flask run'
- Implement a reverse proxy (so that flask and npm servers can communicate without CORS issues due to their different ports)
To implement the reverse proxy, assuming npm is on port 9000 and flask on 5000:
Add the following to server section of nginx.conf
server {
listen 8080;
server_name localhost;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / {
#root html;
#index index.html index.htm;
proxy_pass http://localhost:9000;
}
location /p/ {
#redirect any url beginning with /p/ to port 5000
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
}
...rest of server section is irrelevant
This redirects URLs starting with / (so all URLs) to the npm server running on port 9000. Except when a URL starts with /p/ it is directed to the flask server running on port 5000.
Thus, all calls to the Python scripts running on the flask server must start with /p/, and the python scripts must only take URLs that start with /p/
- Run nginx
- Then, the website will be visible at http://localhost:8080
