1. Setup:
   1. Create a virtual environment with venv: python3 -m venv .venv
   2. Activate the virtual environment: source .venv/bin/activate
   3. Install dependencies from requirements file: pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Configure:
   1. Set environment variables in the template.env file with proper values.
   2. Rename template.env to .env: mv template.env .env
3. Run tests to check that config values are set, compose a test email message, and test smtp settings:
   1. make test
4. Run the application:
   1. make run

1. make docker.build
2. make docker.run

python3 main.py --help for more info.

Easier:

make all will load your .env, format, lint, test, and run the application.

Format, lint, and test before commiting: make precommit
