✨ Start the app in Docker

Step 1 - Download the code from the GH repository (using GIT)

$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/appseed-projects/<YOUR_BUILD_ID>.git
$ cd <YOUR_BUILD_ID>

Step 2 - Edit .env and remove or comment all DB_* settings (DB_ENGINE=...). This will activate the SQLite persistance.

# DB_USERNAME=appseed_db_usr <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker
# DB_PASS=<STRONG_PASS>      <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker

Step 3 - Start the APP in Docker

$ docker-compose up --build

Visit http://localhost:5085 in your browser. The app should be up & running.

✨ How to use it

$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/appseed-projects/78e32db5-7d82-4baa-b3ce-d5a2de68fb8f.git
$ cd 78e32db5-7d82-4baa-b3ce-d5a2de68fb8f

👉 Set Up for `Unix`, `MacOS`

Install modules via VENV

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Set Up Database

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

Start the app

$ python manage.py runserver

At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

👉 Set Up for `Windows`

Install modules via VENV (windows)

$ virtualenv env
$ .\env\Scripts\activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Set Up Database

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

Start the app

$ python manage.py runserver

At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

✨ Create Users

Start the app via python manage.py runserver
Access the registration page and create a new user:
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/register/
Access the sign in page and authenticate
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/

✨ Code-base structure
