As developers, our worst nightmare is getting a text that says:
You forgot to run bin webpack after you pushed, and now production is down!
while we are away from our computer. If only there was a way to run terminal commands on the go! With SMOPS, developers never have to worry about being away from their keyboard when they realize they need to run a command to save production. In short, we just wanted to make a project that would make our own lives as developers easier!
SMOPS allows users to send command line instructions to their server over text. If a developer wants to use SMOPS, they can simply download SMOPS onto their system, register with their Twillio credentials online, and get started sending terminal commands on the go!
SMOPS has a React frontend paired with a Flask backend, and uses postgreSQL to store the user's credentials. We pair-programmed for most of the hackathon, pooling together our knowledge across the stack to build the final application
The project uses React front-end and Flask back-end.
To install the project, your machine must have python and npm installed.
Now, to install the front-end, nagivate to /client folder and run npm install; and to install the back-end, navigate to
backend/ and run pip install -r requirements.txt.
Once you have installed all the dependencies, let's create the postgres database.
Install postgres on your machine, and then log into postgres via the command line.
Create a new database, connect to it, and then run:
CREATE TABLE users (username varchar(50), password varchar(50), email varchar(50), phone_number varchar(20), authentication_sid varchar(50), token varchar(50), PRIMARY KEY(email));Once you have installed all the dependencies and created your database, let's fire up our servers. To start the React server, run:
cd frontend/
npm start
To start the Flask server, on a new terminal, run:
export FLASK_APP=app.py
flask run
Once you have started both React and Flask servers, you can use your browser to navigate to http://localhost:5000/ and start using our app!
