Test Run the Application¶

Before setting up systemd or Nginx, verify that the application runs correctly.

This ensures that configuration and dependencies are working as expected.

1. Activate Virtual Environment¶

Inside the project directory:

source venv/bin/activate

Confirm that (venv) appears in your terminal.

2. Start the Application¶

Run the main application:

python -m tgfs

3. Verify Application Startup¶

If successful, you should see:

• No import errors
• No missing environment variable errors
• Server binding message (example):

Running on http://0.0.0.0:8080

4. Test Locally¶

From the same server:

curl http://localhost:8080

Or open in browser:

http://<server-ip>:8080

If running correctly, you should receive A Response

5. Common Startup Errors¶

Missing Environment Variables¶

Error example:

KeyError: API_ID

Solution: - Ensure .env file exists - Verify all required variables are set

Port Already in Use¶

Error example:

Address already in use

Check running processes:

sudo lsof -i :8080

Kill process if necessary:

sudo kill -9 <PID>

Module Not Found¶

Error example:

ModuleNotFoundError

Solution:

pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Stop the Application¶

Press:

CTRL + C

The application should stop gracefully.

Important¶

Only proceed to systemd setup after confirming:

• Application runs without errors
• Port binding works
• Local access works
