## Initializing database
The first time you install the app in each environment, you need to initialize database using `flask --app flaskr init-db`. This only needs to be run once per environment, and **will delete existing database if run again**.
## Secret key
Every website with login needs a secret key to hash passwords with.
`<python_environment>/var/flaskr-instance/config.py` must contain a line `SECRET_KEY = '<secret_key>`, which must be randomly generated.
Suggested way of generating the key is `python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex())'`, which returns a hexadecimal string with length 64. You may choose to randomly generate a key using a different method, but ensure that it is resistant to brute-force attacks.
