You will need Docker and Docker Compose installed
Build containers and run services in detached mode:
docker-compose up -d
Run Django commands to migrate data and create superuser:
docker-compose exec web python manage.py migrate
docker-compose exec web python manage.py createsuperuser
Create the directory used for media uploads in development:
docker-compose exec web mkdir -p media/covers
Start the development server, app will then be running on localhost:8000:
docker-compose exec web python manage.py runserver 0:8000
This is for Ubuntu 18.04, it will vary slightly for other OSs.
Make sure pip, venv (python3 version) and postgres are installed
$ sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip postgresql
Create a virtual environment.
$ mkdir venvs && cd venvs
$ python3 -m venv bookx
$ source ~/venvs/bookx/bin/activate
$ (bookx) cd ~
Clone project and install requirements.
$ (bookx) git clone https://github.com/Geekfish/bookxchange.git
$ (bookx) cd bookxchange
$ (bookx) pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Create a postgres user and database, set db environment variables.
$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser dj
$ createdb dj -O dj
$ psql
postgres=#q ALTER USER dj WITH PASSWORD 'new_password';
$ mv .env-file .env
Make sure you have the correct variables set in the .env file.
Run python manage.py runserver 0:8000 to make sure that everything is set up correctly. You should be able to access the app at http://localhost:8000 .
To complete the setup, apply the database migrations and create a superuser.
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
When you start the server again, you should now be able to log in and enter a book at http://localhost:8000/book/new .
