Mobius-server

Running the server:

1. Setting up flask app in terminal:
   • In Windows: set FLASK_APP=server.py
   • In Linux: export FLASK_APP=server.py
2. To run the server: flask run

Note: if run on an Azure instance for example the application will be killed when you close the ssh connection. Instead use tmux:

1. Start a tmux session: tmux
2. Do the steps from above here
3. Exit the tmux window by pressing ctrl+b and then d (detach)
4. To enter a running tmux session: tmux attach
5. To close it: go into the session and write exit

Optional:

• to run flask app in debug mode set FLASK_DEBUG=1 or export FLASK_DEBUG=1 before running the server.
• if LOGFILE is specified in .env the logger will write to that file.
• if UPLOAD_DIRECTORY in .env is not specified it will default to api_uploaded_files

Usage

• List uploaded files (No authentication required): GET request to <server-ip>/files
• Upload files: POST request to <server-ip>/files/<file-name-with-extension> with allowed API-key in header (file may be renamed due to secure_filename()-function from flask) and file as attachment
• Download files: GET request to <server-ip>/files/<file-name-with-extension> with allowed API-key in header

About

Uploading and downloading is only possible when the user gives an API-key that is also in the .env-file of the server in the ALLOWED_KEYS-variable.

Requirements

• flask
• dotenv

mobius_server's Issues

Convert the session once uploaded in the server

It would be good to have the session converted once is received by the server. For this, I think the csv2mlt.py needs to be converted into a function

Some thing about the csv converter

Hey @dimstudio,
some things I noticed in the converter:
x = x[len(x) - 1].replace('.zip', '').replace('T', '-')
--> x = x[-1].replace('.zip', '')
Here you remove the "T" from the timestamp, right? But if the user ID also contains a "T" this would also replace that one. Instead I would not replace it and instead parse the T here:
session_datetime = datetime.strptime(recordingID, "%Y-%m-%d'T'%H:%M:%S.%f")

Apart from that, really cool!
