+# Home-VOD Flask Backend
+
+Learning Python Flask Project.
+
+## Development
+
+For Runtime Environment I have used a docker container. The `setup.sh` script should create it.
+
+The source code is bound to the container so any changes are reflected inside the container as well.
+
+## Tests
+
+### Just run all tests
+
+You can run all tests just from docker, using docker exec:
+
+`docker exec home-vod-server python -m unittest discover -v -s .`
+
+This should run all the tests.
+
+> Ensure the testdb is deleted if you have stopped the execution of tests.
+
+### Interactive mode
+
+While developing you may want to run a single test multiple times. Suggestion is to connect interactively with the container:
+`docker exec -it home-vod-server /bin/bash`
+
+Then use the following command to run the specific test:
+`python -m unittest ./test/test_logout.py`
+
+You can also run all the tests with the following at this point.
+`python -m unittest discover -v -s .`
+
+> Ensure you are in the `/server` folder
