apg_flask

Flask wrapper around the audio program generator module

Current status

beta+ ... meaning, it runs out of the box:

locally on my Macbook Pro w/ Catalina 10.15.7, with ffmpeg version 4.4 installed via homebrew;
on Heroku, with ffmpeg buildpack installed (https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/jonathanong/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-latest) This code also runs on AWS Lambda but requires mods (see branch "heroku" (2a4684c).

Prerequisites

Some relatively recent version of Python (3.7+)
FFMPEG with at least the ability to read mp3s and wavs, and write mp3s

Prep for execution

clone the repo
cd into it
create a virtual environment
pip install -r requirements.txt
vi .env
set your environment variables:
- DEBUG=[True/False]

Run locally (localhost)

cd into top directory of repo
flask run
point browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000/
fill out the form, submit, and wait for browser to serve up your freshly mixed mp3 file :-)

Run on Heroku

create new app on Heroku
install ffmpeg buildpack as above
point your app at the apg_flask repo on GitHub
deploy
point browser at your app's url
fill out the form, submit, and wait for browser to serve up your freshly mixed mp3 file :-)
