Development: Starting web application locally with a sqlite database

Warning: Don't do this in the production environment.

Summary:

1. Start a terminal and cd to the project dir
2. Start the virtual environment
3. Start the Elasticsearch container, this enables searching the posts, on port 9200
4. Start the Redis server, this enables a task queue
5. Start at least one RQ worker to execute the tasks from the task queue
6. Start the web app with the Flask command.

The web app itself will use a sqlite database (defined in the JSON config files).
