Announcement Dashboard

Excuse the whole thing really.

Structure

• Flask to act as an input form
• InfluxDB to store timestamped events
• Grafana to present the data

Further considerations

• Since Grafana is probably not the best idea for longer texts, if information is being posted anywhere else a link to this can be embedded.
• Flask Needs Some authentication. But additionally we could just firewall it in.
  • This is rather dependant on how we want to display this.
  • Would it be acceptable to just segment the network it runs on.
• InfluxDB currently is very open but it isn't exposed to anything other than Flask and Grafana across the internal docker network.
