Make app runnable/testable

[mishaschwartz]

The app previously would not start due to some model configurations.

This PR updates the configurations so that the app can be run as-is. It also includes some of the changes that we discussed in our meeting (sorry if you've already made some of them, please feel free to overwrite the ones made here in a later PR if you've got a better way of doing things).

To test out the app you can:

• create a new example record with useless data:

SOME_DATA='{"username":"string","title":"string","desc":"string","fname":"string","lname":"string","email":"string","geometry":"string","latitude":[0, 1, 20],"longitude":[3, 4, 5],"myFile":"string","start_date":"2025-03-14T19:35:42.837Z","end_date":"2025-03-14T19:35:42.837Z","variables":"string","models":"string","path":"string","input":"string","link":"string"}'

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/data-publish-request -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d "${SOME_DATA}"

• the curl call should tell you what the id of the request you just created is. Assuming the id is 1, you can then update it like:

curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8000/v1/data-publish-request/1 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"fname": "newname"}'

• you can inspect the data with

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/data-publish-request/1

etc.
