Setup

Development

.env.dist

All environment variables that are used in development are specified in the .env.dist file. This file is used in the docker-compose.dev.yml file and shell scripts.

Virtual environment

Firstly, you must install all necessary dependencies. For this, you should create a virtual environment. For instance, you may use a virtualenv:

$ virtualenv --python 3.10 venv

Afterwards, activate it:

$ . venv/bin/activate

Two requirements file exist:

• requirements.dev.txt - contains all dependencies that are used during a development process
• requirements.txt - contains all dependencies that are used at the production

Install all packages that are specified in the requirements.dev.txt file. Run the following command to make it:

$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

Production

.env

Before starting the application, you must create .env in the root folder. You already have a .env.prod file, which contains the template of the .env file and some default values.

Start application

You have a docker-compose.yml file in the root directory with all necessarily configuration. If you have created the .env file, you will start the application if you print following command:

$ docker-compose up

The application works on 8888 port at the 127.0.0.1 IP address.
