A small caching service designed to be used with Window Position Assistant.
It behaves like a "JSON pastebin" – stores data sent with POST and returns it with GET for each arbitrary endpoint.
The suggested way to run WPAP is to use the provided Dockerfile to create a container.
$ docker build -t wpap .
$ docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:5000:80 wpap
The server listens on port 80 in the container. In order to use it from outside use the --bind option. Exposing it on
some other custom port bound to localhost makes it easy to use with a reverse proxy, for example to provide a TLS layer.
By default, the server runs 4 threads of gunicorn. It can be overridden with providing extra
arguments to docker run, for example: docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:5000:80 wpap --threads 42.
Database is implemented in the filesystem to allow easy scaling of workers and threads of the production server. By
default, it's created in an ephemeral /app/wpap_cache. However, it can be configured with a WPAP_DIR environment
variable passed to the container. That way data can be persisted on restarts. For example:
# usage with a docker volume for storage
$ docker run -d -v wpap_volume:/storage -e WPAP_DIR=/storage -p 127.0.0.1:5000:80 wpap
