During week 7 of the Makers Academy bootcamp, I developed an intricate password checker as a day-long project. This utility enforces 9 rigorous validation steps to ensure password strength. The accompanying Dockerfile ensures smooth containerization for easy deployment and scaling.

In the following order:

• Checks if the password is at least 20 characters long

• Checks if the password contains nummbers

• Checks if the password contains symbols

• Checks if the password contains both uppercase and lowercase characters

• Checks if the password contains an animal (from an extensive list of animals)

• Checks if all the digits in the password add up to at least 60

• Checks if the password contains a word to start a question (from a list of words)

• Checks that any consecutive digits don't add to more than 16

• Checks if the password contains the first name of an English monarch (from a list of English monarchs)

• See password_checker.py for the code to check the password.

1. Used Docker to containerise the app on my local machine.
   • See Dockerfile
2. Created a script - main.yml - to build and test the app in GitHub Actions.
3. Created a new web service in Render.
4. Configured GitHub to give Render the necessary permissions on this repository, so each time a new push is made to the main branch, and the tests pass, the latest version of the app will be deployed to Render.

• Backend: Python, Flask
• Frontend: CSS, HTML
• Testing: Pytest, Playwright
• Deployment: Docker, GitHub Actions, Render

I have included a CI/CD pipeline in this project so that when the code is pushed to Github the tests will run and the code will be deployed to https://exoframe.xf.mkrs.link . However, my Exoframe token from Makers is no longer valid, and so the pipeline will fail in the CD part.

Run the following command to clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/shakey0/PasswordChecker
cd PasswordChecker

Create your virtual environment:

pipenv install
pipenv shell

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file with the following:

SECRET_KEY=a_secret_key

Run the tests:

pytest

Start the server:

python app.py

Build a Docker image (image tag optional):

docker build -t password_checker .

Start the Docker container:

docker run -e PRODUCTION=True -e SECRET_KEY=a_secret_key -p 5000:5000 password_checker
