Project Overview

Stock Assist is a sophisticated AI-powered financial analysis platform built with Python Flask that revolutionizes how users interact with stock market data. Originally launched as a commercial SaaS platform, it successfully served 46 active users before being open-sourced to benefit the developer community.

🌟 Why Open Source? - A Solo Developer's Journey

"From SaaS Success to Open Source Contribution" - @vibheksoni

After running as a successful SaaS platform, Stock Assist is now open-sourced due to the unique challenges I faced in the financial advertising sector. As a solo developer, I built this entire platform in just 1-2 months of intensive development, serving 46 active users and processing thousands of AI-powered financial queries.

The Reality of Solo Development:

🏗️ Single-handed Architecture: Designed and implemented the entire system alone
⚡ Rapid Development: Built in 1-2 months with focus on speed over perfection
🔧 Code Quality Note: Some parts may be messy due to rapid development cycles
📈 Production Success: Despite quick development, served real users successfully

Why I'm Open-Sourcing: The financial advertising sector requires extensive regulatory certifications and compliance measures that became increasingly complex for an independent developer. Rather than let this battle-tested codebase go unused, I'm sharing it with the community to:

🌍 Foster Innovation in financial technology
📚 Provide Learning Resources for aspiring developers
🤝 Build Community around AI-powered financial tools
💡 Inspire Others to create their own fintech solutions

A Note on Code Quality: As the sole developer working under tight deadlines, some parts of the codebase may not follow perfect conventions. I prioritized functionality and user experience over code perfection, which allowed me to launch quickly and serve real users. This is a realistic example of how successful products are often built - with passion, speed, and iteration.

Installation & Setup

📋 Prerequisites

Python 3.11.6 (Production tested version - recommended)
Docker & Docker Compose for containerized services
Ubuntu Server 20.04+ (Production environment)
Git for version control

🚀 Quick Start with Docker (Recommended)

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/vibheksoni/stock-assist.git
cd stock-assist

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Update Configuration Files

a) Environment Configuration:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys and domain (see Environment Configuration section below)

b) Docker Compose Configuration:

# Edit docker-compose.yml and update:
# - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: Set a secure password
# - Any domain references to your actual domain

c) Database Setup:

# Edit setup.sql and update:
# - Default admin user credentials
# - Any domain-specific configurations

d) Domain Configuration:

# Search and replace in all files:
# - Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain
# - Update social media handles and contact information

Start All Services with Docker

# Start MySQL and Redis
docker-compose up -d mysql redis

# Wait for services to be ready (about 30 seconds)
docker-compose logs mysql redis

# Verify services are running
docker-compose ps

Install Python Dependencies

# For Ubuntu/Linux Production (Recommended)
pip install -r requirement-linux.txt

# For Windows/Development
pip install -r requirements.txt

Initialize Database

# Run database initialization
python app.py
# This will create all tables and default subscription plans

Run the Application

# Development mode
python app.py

# Production mode with Gunicorn (Ubuntu Server)
gunicorn -c gunicorn.conf.py app:app

🐳 Complete Docker Setup

Full Docker Environment Setup

# 1. Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/vibheksoni/stock-assist.git
cd stock-assist

# 2. Create environment file
cp .env.example .env

# 3. Edit environment variables (see Environment Configuration section)
nano .env

# 4. Start all services
docker-compose up -d

# 5. Check service status
docker-compose ps

# 6. View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# 7. Access application
# http://localhost (if running locally)
# https://yourdomain.com (if deployed)

# 8. Stop services
docker-compose down

# 9. Reset everything (careful - deletes data!)
docker-compose down -v
docker system prune -a

Docker Services:

MySQL 8.0: Primary database
Redis Alpine: Caching and session storage
App Container: Flask application (optional)

🔧 Required Configuration Updates

⚠️ Critical Configuration Steps

Before running the application, you MUST update these configuration files:

1. Docker Compose Configuration

Edit docker-compose.yml:

# Update MySQL password (Line 22)
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "your_secure_password_here"

# Example secure password generation:
# python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"

2. Database Setup Configuration

Edit setup.sql:

-- Update default admin credentials
-- Change default passwords and email addresses
-- Update any domain-specific configurations

3. Environment Variables

Edit .env:

# Update these critical variables:
SERVER_NAME=yourdomain.com
OXAPAY_RETURN_URL=https://yourdomain.com/payments/success
OXAPAY_CALLBACK_URL=https://yourdomain.com/payments/callback
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_secure_password_here

4. Automated Domain & Contact Update (Recommended)

Use the provided script to update all domain and contact references:

# Basic domain update
python update_domains.py --domain your-actual-domain.com

# Complete update with social media handles
python update_domains.py \
  --domain your-actual-domain.com \
  --github your-github-username \
  --discord your-discord-username \
  --email admin@your-actual-domain.com

# For production deployment (replaces yourdomain.com)
python update_domains.py \
  --domain your-actual-domain.com \
  --github your-github-username \
  --discord your-discord-username \
  --email admin@your-actual-domain.com \
  --replace-original

# Preview changes without making them
python update_domains.py --domain your-domain.com --dry-run

4b. Manual Domain Replacement (Alternative)

If you prefer manual updates, search and replace in ALL files:

# Replace placeholder domains
find . -type f -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/yourdomain\.com/your-actual-domain.com/g' {} +
find . -type f -name "*.js" -exec sed -i 's/yourdomain\.com/your-actual-domain.com/g' {} +
find . -type f -name "*.html" -exec sed -i 's/yourdomain\.com/your-actual-domain.com/g' {} +

# If replacing the original domain (for production deployment)
find . -type f -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/yourdomain\.com/your-actual-domain.com/g' {} +

5. Social Media & Contact Information

Update these references throughout the codebase (or use the script above):

Discord: Change 1codec to your Discord username
GitHub: Change @vibheksoni to your GitHub username
Email: Update any email addresses in configuration files
Social Links: Update any social media references

6. Security Considerations

# Generate secure passwords
python -c "import secrets; print('MySQL Password:', secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
python -c "import secrets; print('Flask Secret:', secrets.token_hex(32))"

# Update these in your .env file:
FLASK_SECRET_KEY=generated_flask_secret_here
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=generated_mysql_password_here
