Django Web Application Hosted on LAN

Is it possible to set up a centralized application server that hosts a Django web app and a local database, allowing clients on separate computers to access the app for CRUD operations (e.g., managing mail/blacklists) while storing updates locally? The server would also communicate with a ROS2 system on another computer (running AI models and managing daily logs) and optionally sync data to the cloud. Are there any potential challenges or considerations with this architecture?

Nodriver - The next step in web scraping

Hey guys! Scraping is something we've all needed at some point, whether for personal or professional reasons. But nowadays I feel like I get blocked immediately if I go to any website and tbh I don't want to setup complex patches and go through all that stuff for like a tiny thing. Nodriver solved this problem for me.

Here's an article I wrote about getting started with nodriver and how it faces up with the competition - https://www.hyperbrowser.ai/blog/nodriver_:_The_next_step_in_web_automation

Proof of PCAP Certification?

For those of you who have taken (and passed) the PCAP, did you receive anything other than the paper printout after the exam? (I know the PCAP isn't particularly useful, but my company offered me a 3% raise if I passed it so...) I'm just wondering if I should expect an email with some official looking certification or if I should just show the exam printout to my company.

Introducing My New Favicon Extraction Tool

## What My Project Does

I've created a tool that extracts favicons from any website. It works by parsing HTML pages, checking fallback routes for icons, and even supports inline base64-encoded images. The tool can also verify availability, guess missing icon sizes, and download the favicons for further processing. It aims to streamline favicon retrieval for web scraping, data analysis or just curious exploration.

## Links

- Source code: https://github.com/AlexMili/extractfavicon/
- Documentation: https://alexmili.github.io/extractfavicon/


## Target Audience

The project is designed for developers and data enthusiasts who work with web metadata. Whether you’re building a crawler, enhancing a web directory, or simply analyzing website branding. My intention is to maintain and improve it, making it stable and ready for production use cases.


## Comparison

While there are other favicon extraction libraries out there, many of them have become unmaintained or lack features like asynchronous support, thorough availability checks, and automatic size guessing. My project is actively maintained, built with modern Python standards, and provides a more robust, flexible solution than many existing alternatives.

How to test Flask with dummy DB

Hi, I have been making a Flask CRUD API, I am using pytest to test the models and everything that can be done without having to initialize the Flask App. However, now I really need to start testing the endpoints. I have checked https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/testing/ and I am getting a general idea on how to do so, however, I am still a bit lost on how to initialize the database and populate it during the testing. Would love any tips :)

I’m a network engineer currently studying Django to build a front end for my Python noscript. I’ve started watching some video tutorials and reading through the Django documentation, but I’m still looking for resources that specifically focus on network programming or tools for beginners using Django.

Open-source Python Uno shuffler

Hi r/Python community! I recently made an Uno shuffler program with python. You can fork it here: https://github.com/LarryEmerson12/UnoShuffler/. It simply just generates the whole Uno deck, and then shuffles it. You can shuffle it as many times as you want.

Target Audience:

You can implement it in your other projects.

Why is this retrieve method incrementing the viewcount by 2 instead of 1 ? .

class ArticleViewSet(ArticleViewSetMixin, viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewSet):
    filtersetclass = ArticleFilter
    permissionclasses = (AllowAny,)
    queryset = Article.objects.filter(publisheddatelte=datetime.now(tz=IST))
    serializerclass = ArticleSerializer

    def retrieve(self, *args, **kwargs):
        instance = self.getobject()
        Article.objects.filter(pk=instance.pk).update(viewcount=F("viewcount") + 1)
        instance.refreshfromdb()
        serializer = self.getserializer(instance)
        return Response(serializer.data)


Each time i send a postman request, its incrementing the view\count by 2 instead of 1 ? .
why is that ? .
I also don't have any separate signals or anything, this is the only method I have overridden.

Help needed: Flask not loading images in one template

https://preview.redd.it/isayd97rhd6e1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=defc230877ba3f07585cb25cf2693309808682dd

Hello,


I'm new to Flask and having trouble with images in one of my templates (`login.html`). Images load fine when `dashboard.html` using `{{ url_for('static', filename='images/logo.jpg') }}`, but the same code doesn't work in `login.html`. Similarly, the CSS file (`/static/css/styles.css`) also doesn't load for `login.html`.

I've checked the file structure and paths, cleared my browser cache, and tried hardcoding the image paths (`/static/images/logo.jpg`), but no luck. Whenever I load the HTML page separately with the hardcoded path, it works fine.

What could be causing this inconsistency? I would appreciate any help!



**Login.html:**

<header>
<img src="/static/images/logo.jpg" alt="logo">
<!-- <img src ="{{ url_for('static', filename='/images/logo.jpg') }}"> -->
</header>
<footer>
<!-- Bottom-center motto -->
<img src="/static/images/motto.jpg" alt="motto">
</footer>


**Dashboard.html:**

<header>
<!-- <img src="{{ url_for('static', filename='images/logo.jpg') }}" alt="Logo">-->
<img src="/static/images/logo.jpg" alt="logo">
<button class="logout-btn" onclick="
window
.location.href='{{ url_for('logout') }}'">Logout</button>

How to upload files to server using django rest framework (i'm using flutter for the front end)

I'm building a user application which allows user to upload designs for saree's (basically the app is going to be used in textile industries in precise) here i stuck with the file uploading part like how to upload files which are around 2-30mb to the server using DRF.
for context the app is going to communicate with the machine using mqtt protocol so once the design is uploaded to the server it will then be used by the machines.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on this matter as it would be very helpful.

python-json-logger has changed hands

Hi r/python,

I wanted to introduce myself as the new maintainer of python-json-logger and hopefully establish a bit of trust.

Understandably there has been some anxiety over the PEP 541 Request that I submitted given the importance / popularity of the package - especially in the context of the XZ Utils backdoor earlier in the year.

I think it's important to highlight that although this was prompted by the PEP 541 request, it was not done through PEP 541 mechanisms. In other words this was a decision by the original maintainer and not the PyPI Administrators.

For those wanting to know more about me (to prove that I'm not some statebased actor subverting the package), I'm a security professional and maintain a few other packages. You might also have seen some of my blog posts on reddit.

Finally apologies if the newly released versions broke your things - despite my best efforts at testing and maintaining backwards compatibility it appears some bugs managed to slip through.

Django on ecs

Whats the common practice for serving a Django app from ECS?

Should I use gunicorn from within the container and nginx as reverse proxy?

It’s mainly going to be used as a project to go on my resume so don’t need anything to complex.

Thanks
