Web File Storage

Run directly from repository with Hatch (or use pip install as usual):

hatch run cista -l :3000 /path/to/files

Settings incl. these arguments are stored to config file on the first startup and later hatch run cista is sufficient. If the cista script is missing, consider pip install -e . (within hatch shell) or some other trickery (known issue with installs made prior to adding the startup script).

Create your user account:

hatch run cista --user admin --privileged

Build frontend

Frontend needs to be built before using and after any frontend changes:

cd frontend
npm install
npm run build

This will place the front in cista/wwwroot from where the backend server delivers it, and that also gets included in the Python package built via hatch build.
