# RideAware Admin Center
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This project provides an Admin Center for managing the RideAware subscriber list. It connects to the same SQLite database (`subscribers.db`) used by the landing page app (running on port 5000) and allows an administrator to:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- View all currently subscribed email addresses.
 | 
						|
- Send overview update emails to all subscribers.
 | 
						|
- Unsubscribe emails via the landing page app.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Admin Center is protected by a login page, and admin credentials (with a salted/hashed password) are stored in the `admin_users` table within the same database.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Features
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Admin Login:**  
 | 
						|
  Secure login using salted and hashed passwords (via Werkzeug security utilities).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Subscriber List:**  
 | 
						|
  View all email addresses currently stored in the `subscribers` table.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Email Updates:**  
 | 
						|
  A form for sending update emails (HTML allowed) to the subscriber list using SMTP.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- **Shared Database:**  
 | 
						|
  Both the landing page app (port 5000) and Admin Center (port 5001) connect to the same `subscribers.db`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Setup & Running
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Prerequisites
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Docker (for containerized deployment)
 | 
						|
- Python 3.11+ (if running locally without Docker)
 | 
						|
- An SMTP account (e.g., Spacemail) for sending emails
 | 
						|
- A `.env` file with configuration details
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### .env Configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following example variables:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```env
 | 
						|
# SMTP settings (shared with the landing page app)
 | 
						|
SMTP_SERVER=<email server>
 | 
						|
SMTP_PORT=<email port>
 | 
						|
SMTP_USER=<email username>
 | 
						|
SMTP_PASSWORD=<email password>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Database file
 | 
						|
DATABASE_FILE=subscribers.db
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Admin credentials for the Admin Center
 | 
						|
ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
 | 
						|
ADMIN_PASSWORD="changeme"  # Change this to a secure password
 | 
						|
ADMIN_SECRET_KEY="your_super_secret_key"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Running with Docker
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Building the Docker image:
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
docker build -t admin-panel .
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Running the container mapping port 5001:
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
docker run -p 5001:5001 admin-panel
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The app will be accessible at http://ip-address-here:5001
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Running locally
 | 
						|
Install the dependencies using **requirements.txt**:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
pip install -r requirements.txt
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Then run the admin app:
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
python app.py
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The app will be accessible at http://ip-address-here:5001 |
