• Tutorial: https://hackersandslackers.com/flask-login-user-authentication/
• Demo: https://flasklogin.hackersandslackers.com

Get set up locally in two steps:

Replace the values in .env.example with your values and rename this file to .env:

• ENVIRONMENT: The environment to run your app in (either development or production).
• FLASK_DEBUG: Whether to enable "DEBUG" logging (either True or False).
• SECRET_KEY: Randomly generated string of characters used to encrypt your app's data.
• SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI: Connection URI of a SQL database.
• LESS_BIN: Path to your local LESS installation via which lessc (optional for static assets).

Remember never to commit secrets saved in .env files to Github.

Get up and running with make deploy:

git clone https://github.com/toddbirchard/flasklogin-tutorial.git
cd flasklogin-tutorial
make install
make run
