Be sure to increment the version number in the .env file

Deployment on RPI

1. Install python3.9
2. Install pip3
3. Install git
4. Clone this repo: https://github.com/jbyerline/Raspberry-Pi-Pool-Controller-Flask.git
5. Install all pip requirements with pip3 install -r requirements.txt
6. Create a .env.local file with the following:

MONGO_URI=mongodb://user:[email protected]:27017/pool_data
MONGO_DB_NAME=pool_data
MONGO_COLLECTION=temperature_logs
LOG_TEMPS_EVERY_N_HOURS=2
NGROK_AUTHTOKEN=
NGROK_DOMAIN=poolservice.byerline.me

7. Test running locally with python3 app.py
8. Setup crontab to run python3 app.py on boot: crontab -e then add @reboot cd /home/jbyerline/Raspberry-Pi-Pool-Controller-Flask && /usr/bin/python3 app.py >> logfile.log 2>&1
9. Reboot and test, the service should be running on port 8000 and available at https://poolservice.byerline.me
