getDiscography

Flask based utility that will allow a user to download an entire Discography for the provided artist.

How to use:

Open the root directory of this project in a terminal.

Create a virtual environment with python.

python -m venv .

For more about virtual environments, look here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

While in the virtual env (venv) install the requirements.txt file with:

pip install -r ./requirements.txt

After all dependencies have been installed successfully, start the service with:

python app.py

The service will then be accessible at http://localhost for as long as the terminal stays open. To shutdown the service simply close the terminal or ctl + c

Known issues

The latest versions of Ubuntu (22.04+ I believe) have swicted over to symlinking Firefox to the snap packages. Which causes an issue with the selenium driver. I suppose you could probably point to the executable file directly in the snap (not the symlink). I just use docker with a distro that doesn't have this problem, personally.
