To use

This Agora Server is meant to be used in conjunction with an Agora. An Agora is a collection of digital gardens and other information sources that are assembled into a distributed knowledge graph.

For an example Agora, and for more information on the Agora design, please refer to https://flancia.org/go/agora.

To see the Agora Server in action with the example Agora, please visit https://anagora.org.

To develop

Install OS dependencies:

$ apt-get install python3 python3-pip

Install npm. Then install JavaScript dependencies:

npm install

Install poetry (as per https://python-poetry.org/docs/ and the pip3 repository, this is the recommended way of installing):

curl -sSL  https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

Install Python dependencies:

poetry install

If you get a virtualenv-related error above, try removing virtualenv if you had installed it separately: pip3 uninstall virtualenv.

Then run the development server:

./run-dev.sh

About the project

As you might have inferred from the above, this project is based on Flask. /app hosts the Flask app. In it:

  • app/__init__.py has the high level Flask setup.
  • app/agora.py does rendering (url maps, views).
  • app/db.py has logic to read/process notes. The db is actually the filesystem :)
  • app/js-src has Javascript and Typescript sources.
  • app/templates are Jinja2 templates.
