Local Development

1. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set environment variables:

export SERVER_SEED="your-secret-server-seed"
export SECRET_RECIPE_CONTENT="Your super secret recipe content here"
export ENCRYPTION_KEY="your-encryption-key-here"

3. Run the application:

python app.py

RSA Key Generation

Before deploying, you need to generate RSA keys for JWT authentication:

Generate Private Key:

openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048

Generate Public Key:

openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -pubout -out public_key.pem

Extract keys for app.py:

# Get private key content
cat private_key.pem

# Get public key content  
cat public_key.pem

Replace the placeholder keys in app.py with the generated keys.

Vercel Deployment

1. Install Vercel CLI:

npm i -g vercel

2. Set environment variables in Vercel:

vercel env add SERVER_SEED
vercel env add SECRET_RECIPE_CONTENT  
vercel env add ENCRYPTION_KEY

3. Deploy:

vercel --prod

Environment Variables

• SERVER_SEED: Secret seed used for recipe ID generation
• SECRET_RECIPE_CONTENT: Content of the protected secret recipe
• ENCRYPTION_KEY: Key used for encrypting sensitive data

API Endpoints

• GET / - Home page
• GET /recipes - Recipe listing page
• GET /login - Admin login page
• POST /login - Admin authentication
• GET /api/recipes/{id} - Get recipe by ID
• GET /api/config - Get server configuration (requires admin auth)
• POST /api/encrypt - Encrypt text using custom algorithm

Security Features
