My Flask File Manager

Simple Flask app that lets users add/open/delete files (upload folder, templates, static).

Run locally:

1. Create a virtual environment:

   • macOS/Linux:

     python3 -m venv .venv
     source .venv/bin/activate

   • Windows (PowerShell):

     python -m venv .venv
     .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run locally:

   python app.py

   Open http://127.0.0.1:5000

OR

4. Run manually

   $env:FLASK_APP = "app.py"
   $env:FLASK_ENV = "development"
   python -m flask run
   

Notes:

• Do NOT commit the venv/ directory or real uploaded user files. The .gitignore contains rules to avoid that.
• Use environment variables (e.g., SECRET_KEY) instead of hard-coding secrets.
• For production, use gunicorn (Procfile included).
