🚀 Features

Intuitive dashboard interface for building and editing websites
Support for multiple servers with independent routes
Real-time editing with live preview functionality
Lightweight and RAM-based storage for ultra-fast prototyping

📋 Requirements

Python 3.12.6
All dependencies listed in requirements.txt

Install the required packages with:

pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -r requirements.txt

🐳 Docker Support

You can run WebsiteBuilder inside a Docker container for simplified deployment and consistent environments.

📦 Build the Docker Image

docker build -t websitebuilder .

🚀 Run the Container

docker run -d --env-file .env websitebuilder

💡 Make sure your .env file is in the same directory as your Dockerfile.

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/DeltaStudios01/WebsiteBuilder.git
cd WebsiteBuilder

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the application

python -m app.dashboard

4. Access the dashboard

Open your browser and visit: http://127.0.0.1:5000

💡 Tip: You can change the dashboard address by modifying the PORT and HOST values in the configuration.

⚙️ Configuration

You can customize the server by creating a .env file in the root directory. Example:

DEBUG=True
PORT=5000
HOST=127.0.0.1

✅ The application will read this file automatically on startup to configure itself.

🧪 Development Mode

To enable debug mode and auto-reload, set DEBUG=True in your .env file.

This is recommended during development to see changes without restarting the app manually.

🌐 Exposing Your Local Port

If you're developing a local server and want to make it accessible from the internet, you can use a tunneling service like Cloudflare Tunnel.

✅ How It Works

A tunneling tool such as cloudflared creates a secure connection between your local machine and a public endpoint.

⚙️ Getting Started with `cloudflared`

Install on Windows:

winget install --id Cloudflare.cloudflared

Start a tunnel:

cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:5000

Replace http://localhost:5000 with the local URL and port your server is running on.

After running the command, you'll get a public URL like:

https://your-subdomain.trycloudflare.com

Anyone with this link can access your local application — securely and instantly.

📚 Documentation

For more advanced usage, configuration options, or troubleshooting, visit the official Cloudflare Tunnel documentation:

⚠️ Important Note:
Running a server on localhost means it's only accessible from your own device by default.
Without a tunnel or special network configuration, localhost cannot be accessed from other devices — even if they're connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
