Create mysql password

Now enter mysql by running sudo mysql -u root add this line and enter a password in ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your_new_password'; replace 'your_new_password' with your password then press enter, once you have done that add this line FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

2. FILMLABS_JWT_KEY="df6^Dju-3Ffsf__d9pFDfSh#7#$)448*#4v$Jf-#HQHjf9hdf-FH(#r#"lrjfx-dSGsDJ4td)" (This variable is your secret key creating your tokens so you can change it to whatever you want but its best to make it long and randomized so no hacker can get it)

3. MYSQL_PASSWORD="mysql password" (Change mysql passsword with your password you created for your mysql root)

4. MYSQL_USER="root" (This is your mysql user that is being logged into just keep it the same)

Once restarted go to your the FilmLabs folder (cd FilmLabs/) (and if you set up a virtual environment you need to activate it by running source filmlabs-environment/bin/activate) now run your server by running python3 main.py, it should print out alot of stuff but what you are looking for is a list of ip adresses like this

* Running on all addresses (0.0.0.0)
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:2400  
* Running on http://10.0.0.52:2400

http://127.0.0.1:2400 will only allow access on your local machine. The last one http://10.0.0.52:2400 allows access to the site on your network.
