Thermostart - Cloudless Thermosmart

Make your (currently) useless Thermosmart device cloud independent and get your old scheduling functionality back.

Created with Flask technology and fully dockerized.

Flask commands

Quick start: dockerize development

In the root folder, copy the .env.example file and name the new file .env.dev. You may change the values as you need, especially it's a good practice to set unique SECRET_KEY - at least change some characters there :)

After that stay in the root folder and use following commands:

# give permissions to your entrypoint.sh file
chmod +x services/web/entrypoint.sh

# build and run
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

# delete if not needed anymore
docker-compose down

To use the application visit http://localhost:3888 in your browser.

Additional useful commands

# RUN in DEBUG mode
python manage.py --app thermostart run --debug

# Open shell with app's data
flask --app thermostart shell

# Dynamically change the docker's base image
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build --build-arg TS_IMAGE=python:3.12.2-slim-bookworm

Docker compose related commands

# Docker running operations
docker-compose build
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d      # d makes in run in the background
docker-compose down       # remove existing container        | CAREFUL IN PRODUCTION!
docker-compose down -v    # include volume of sqlite data    | CAREFUL IN PRODUCTION!

# Docker check logs
docker-compose logs

# Stop containers
docker-compose stop
docker stop thermostart-web-1

# Start containers
docker-compose start
docker start thermostart-web-1

Production

Basically it's the same way as dev server, but you need to use different files:

• create .env.prod for environment variables:   - APP_FOLDER=/home/app/web   - DATABASE_URL= <URL with proper database data>

And most importantly, to every docker command add the "-f" flag: -f docker-compose.prod.yml to point to the file that you want to use to build images and run. Example:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
