bash-fastapi/README.md

# What's this?

This repository contains database of all quotes from the famous website bash.im
as well as the API that allows self-hosting your own quotes website. All of
this started in February 2022 when bash.im was shut down. Quotes were parsed
from the web archive.

# Requirements

- Python 3.8+ (Python 3.11 is recommended)
- Git LFS for fetching the quotes DB

# Quickstart

```bash
# Clone this repository and enter it:
git clone https://git.darkn.space/Darkn/bash-fastapi.git
cd bash-fastapi
# Download the quotes.sqlite3 using Git LFS
# and replace the pointer file with the actual database:
git lfs pull
# Configure virtualenv:
python3 -m venv .venv
# Activate virtualenv:
. .venv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies:
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
# Start main.py
python main.py
```

# FAQ

**Q: How do I change the port on which API runs?**

A: Default port is 8001, but you can change it inside of main.py by modifying
those lines at the very end:

```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run(app, port=8001, host="0.0.0.0")
```

**Q: Why is quotes.sqlite3 so small and has no quotes inside of it after I
cloned your repository?**

A: You probably forgot to install and/or use Git LFS. Go to the repository
directory and run following commands:

```bash
git lfs install
git lfs fetch
git lfs checkout
```

You can read more about using Git LFS

and

**Q: Do you really have all quotes from bash.im?**

A: As long as it was indexed by the web archive, it's there.
