## TODO: get all this inside a docker container and use compose to do the whole set (pg, flask, ?)
# flask -> python web server
# sqlalchemy -> provides db-agnostic python objects of db content (and more)
# flask-sqlachemy combines/wraps this to provide a db.* set of objects based on the 'app' that flask creates
# marshmallow-sqlachemy provides a way to create a 'schema' of your class, then serialize an object to it 

# install needed binaries (maybe I could have done this instead of pip below too -- when I docker this shit, sort it out?)
sudo apt install python3-psycopg2 libpq-dev

##LEARN: supposedly could use virtualenv instead of pip3 install --user?
# --user sticks python libs in ~/.local/[bin|lib|share]
pip3 install --user flask sqlalchemy flask-sqlalchemy flask-marshmallow SQLAlchemy-serializer

# run the web server by:
python3 main.py
