📈 Before vs After

Aspect	Before	After
Main App Size	1334 lines	200 lines
Number of Files	1 (`app.py`)	11 modules + 3 docs
Configuration Locations	3 places (scattered)	1 file (`config_settings.py`)
Modules	Monolithic	Focused
Testability	Difficult	Easy
Documentation	Minimal	Comprehensive
Configuration Method	Hardcoded	Env vars + file
Code Organization	Hard to find code	Clear structure

🚀 Quick Start

1. Run the Application

cd /srv/prezenta_work
python3 app_modular.py

2. Configure with Environment Variables

export MONITORING_SERVER_HOST=192.168.1.100
export FLASK_PORT=8080
python3 app_modular.py

3. Or Use .env File

cat > .env << EOF
MONITORING_SERVER_HOST=192.168.1.100
FLASK_PORT=80
EOF

python3 app_modular.py

4. Test the API

# Get status
curl http://localhost/status

# Execute command
curl -X POST http://localhost/execute_command \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"command": "uptime"}'

Clean hierarchy with no circular dependencies!

💡 Use Cases

Use Case 1: Change Server Address

Before:

Find hardcoded string "http://rpi-ansible:80/logs" in 1334 lines
Edit app.py line 665
Restart application

After:

export MONITORING_SERVER_HOST=192.168.1.100
python3 app_modular.py

Use Case 2: Add New Allowed Command

Before:

Find ALLOWED_COMMANDS list somewhere in 1334 lines
Edit app.py
Restart application

After: Edit config_settings.py and add to list:

ALLOWED_COMMANDS = [
    # ... existing commands ...
    "my_custom_command arg1 arg2"
]

Use Case 3: Fix Logging Bug

Before:

Search through 1334 lines for logging code
Logging mixed with command execution, network code, etc.

After:

Open logger_module.py (3 KB, 3 functions)
Fix the issue immediately

Use Case 4: Add New API Endpoint

Before:

Find Flask routes in 1334 lines
Modify app.py with new route code
Risk of breaking existing code

After:

Modify api_routes_module.py
Add new function
Register route
No risk to other modules

Review documentation
- QUICKSTART.md
- MODULAR_ARCHITECTURE.md
Deploy when confident
- Switch from app.py to app_modular.py
- Or set up systemd service (see documentation)

🔒 Backward Compatibility

✅ Old app preserved - app.py still works
✅ New app available - app_modular.py for new deployments
✅ Same API - Both expose identical endpoints
✅ Same configuration files - Both use same ./data/ directory
✅ Gradual migration - Switch when ready
