Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Redis server
• Required packages:

  pip install flask redis python-dotenv
  

Installation

1. Clone repository
2. Configure Redis connection:

   # In config.json
   {
     "host": "localhost",
     "port": 6379,
     "ssl": true,
     "password" : ""
   }
   

3. Launch application:

   python app.py  # Web interface
   python redis_utils.py --help  # CLI options
   

Usage Examples

Web Interface:

1. Access http://localhost:5000
2. Navigate using top menu
3. Manage models through intuitive UI

CLI Operations:

# Add a model
catalog.add_model("company/model", {"converted": False, ...})

# Get a model
model = catalog.get_model("company/model")

Maintenance

Backup Strategy

• Daily automated backups (recommended)
• Manual backups before major changes
• Store backups in version control

Monitoring

• Redis memory usage
• Connection health checks
• Error log review

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Connection refused	Verify Redis is running and credentials
Invalid model data	Check JSON formatting in imports
Missing templates	Ensure all HTML files are in templates/

Roadmap

• Add user authentication
• Implement API endpoints
• Add audit logging
• Develop advanced search filters
