Deployment

To deploy this Flask app, you can use a script in deployment/fabfile.py. You need to install Fabric in order to run this script. While Fabric support both Python2 and Python3, I recommend you to use Python3 for this script. Make sure you have a Ubuntu VM with SSH access. Simply run the command below:

cd britecore-test/deployment
fab -f fabfile.py -H <host> provision

Once script successfully executed, you can now point your browser to http://vm-ip-address
