I got tired of having to fiddle with databases for each small project and then there was the problem of not being able to see the stored data without a client. Since almost everything can at least do an HTTP GET / POST, Ephemera API was born to store and view data in MongoDB. The core idea is a general repository for data storage and retrival with no configuration. Every Mongo collection gets is created if it doesn't exist and the views are generated from the data.
The installation instructions were written for Rasbian, but the I'm hosting on Ubuntu 23 w/ Python , Flask, and Mongo.
