TODO

• Switch to Poetry
• Note about what the project uses (Poetry, Docker, FastAPI)
• Add instructions about how to install dependencies
• Add instructions about how to run the model in standalone mode
• Add instructions about how to run the server locally without Docker
• Add instructions about Plots.ipynb

Backend of Epoch's Direct Approach Interactive Model post.

Standalone execution

The easiest way to run the model is executing run_standalone.py. It will generate several graphs inside the /plot directory and print a summary of the output of the model.

$ poetry python run_standalone.py

Deployment with Docker

If you want to run the server in the same way we're doing for our website, you might want to follow these steps:

cd timelines-direct-approach
sudo docker build -t direct-approach-backend .

# Stop and remove the old image (this might fail if one of those steps is unnecessary. That's fine.)
sudo docker stop timelines-backend; sudo docker rm timelines-backend

# Start the new image running
sudo docker run -dp 8000:8000 --name=timelines-backend direct-approach-backend

# Pipe the logs to stdout
sudo docker logs -f timelines-backend
