Add server

[javidahmed64592]

This pull request introduces a comprehensive template FastAPI server project with robust features and improved development workflow. Key changes include replacing the previous example code with a production-ready server, adding configuration and middleware for authentication, security, and logging, and refactoring project structure and dependencies. The CI pipeline is also streamlined with reusable setup actions.

Project Structure and Feature Additions:

• Added main server modules: python_template_server/main.py for running the FastAPI server, authentication_handler.py for token-based authentication, and certificate_handler.py for SSL certificate management. [1] [2] [3]
• Introduced configuration management with config.py, constants in constants.py, and a default configuration/config.json for server, security, rate limiting, and certificate settings. [1] [2] [3]
• Added middleware for request logging and security headers in the middleware package. [1] [2]

Dependency and Packaging Updates:

• Updated pyproject.toml to rename the package to python-template-server, add FastAPI, authentication, rate limiting, Prometheus metrics, and other dependencies, and configure build inclusion and scripts for server and utility commands. [1] [2] [3]

CI Workflow Improvements:

• Created reusable composite GitHub Actions for setting up Python environments with core and dev dependencies, and refactored .github/workflows/ci.yml to use these actions for all jobs, simplifying and standardizing setup. [1] [2] [3]
• Updated package name references and improved version consistency checks in CI scripts. [1] [2]

Codebase Cleanup:

• Removed obsolete example code from example/main.py to focus on the new server implementation.

Configuration and Security:

• Added support for environment-based API token management, self-signed SSL certificate generation, and security headers configuration for production readiness. [1] [2] [3]

These changes lay the foundation for a secure, scalable, and maintainable FastAPI server template with modern development and deployment practices.
