Currently the Multifeeder updates its database at each restart of the Flask script ... Which is unhandy.

Updating the database at each API request will make the requests pretty slow, hmm.

Options:

an update button on the webpage? (not ideal)
an hourly automatic update? (cronjob restarting the supervisor service?)

For now, i enabled a crontab that runs the following command every hour:

supervisortctl restart multifeeder

I think you can use https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
to periodically come back and execute feedtools.update()

This is the Flask implementation
https://github.com/viniciuschiele/flask-apscheduler
Because this is a different thread, it wont intervene with your requests or need to reboot the entire application every hour.
