Introduced argument parsing to provide command-line options for configuring the server port and enabling debug mode, enhancing flexibility for local development or deployment needs. The changes include adjusting string quotes for consistency and minor formatting improvements.
This addition allows users to start the web server with custom configurations without modifying the source code directly, making it more convenient to run in different environments or debug as needed.
Refactored the website to serve dynamic content using Flask, replacing static HTML pages. This allows for the centralized management of service data through a JSON file. Optimizations include:
- Added a .gitignore file to exclude Python and Flask-specific temporary files.
- Migrated static assets into an organized directory structure to facilitate Flask's static file serving.
- Removed redundant HTML files and created Flask template versions with dynamic content rendering.
- Introduced Caddy server configuration for the new Flask architecture, including headers for security and CORS policy, and reverse proxy settings for route handling.
With these changes, website maintenance and updates are simplified, allowing for service information to be updated in a single location (`services.json`), which then propagates to the user-facing pages automatically.
