A management of Pilnujemy.info foundation
foundation relies extensively on environment settings which will not work with Apache/mod_wsgi setups. It has been deployed successfully with both Gunicorn/Nginx and even uWSGI/Nginx.
For configuration purposes, the following table maps the 'foundation' environment variables to their Django setting:
| Environment Variable | Django Setting | Development Default | Production Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| DJANGO_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID | AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID | n/a | raises error |
| DJANGO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY | AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY | n/a | raises error |
| DJANGO_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME | AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME | n/a | raises error |
| DJANGO_CACHES | CACHES (default) | locmem | memcached |
| DJANGO_DATABASES | DATABASES (default) | See code | See code |
| DJANGO_DEBUG | DEBUG | True | False |
| DJANGO_SECRET_KEY | SECRET_KEY | CHANGEME!!! | raises error |
| DJANGO_SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER | SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER | n/a | True |
| DJANGO_SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT | SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT | n/a | True |
| DJANGO_SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF | SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF | n/a | True |
| DJANGO_SECURE_FRAME_DENY | SECURE_FRAME_DENY | n/a | True |

The steps below will get you up and running with a local development environment. We assume you have the following installed:
- pip
- virtualenv
- PostgreSQL
First make sure to create and activate a virtualenv, then open a terminal at the project root and install the requirements for local development:
$ pip install -r requirements/local.txtCreate a local PostgreSQL database:
$ createdb foundationRun migrate on your new database:
$ python manage.py migrateYou can now run the runserver_plus command:
$ python manage.py runserver_plusOpen up your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see the site running locally.
To create a normal user account, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.
To create an superuser account, use this command:
$ python manage.py createsuperuserFor convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.
If you'd like to take advantage of live reloading and Sass / Compass CSS compilation you can do so with the included Grunt task.
Make sure that nodejs is installed. Then in the project root run:
$ npm install gruntNow you just need:
$ grunt serveThe base app will now run as it would with the usual manage.py runserver but with live reloading and Sass compilation enabled.
To get live reloading to work you'll probably need to install an appropriate browser extension
It's time to write the code!!!
It is possible to deploy to Heroku or to your own server by using Dokku, an open source Heroku clone.
Run these commands to deploy the project to Heroku:
heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:dev
heroku pg:backups schedule DATABASE_URL
heroku pg:promote DATABASE_URL
heroku addons:create sendgrid:starter
heroku addons:create memcachier:dev
heroku config:set DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=RANDOM_SECRET_KEY_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='config.settings.production'
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_AWS_ID_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=YOUR_AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME_HERE
heroku config:set SENDGRID_USERNAME=YOUR_SENDGRID_USERNAME
heroku config:set SENDGRID_PASSWORD=YOUR_SENDGRID_PASSWORD
git push heroku master
heroku run python manage.py migrate
heroku run python manage.py check --deploy
heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser
heroku openYou need to make sure you have a server running Dokku with at least 1GB of RAM. Backing services are added just like in Heroku however you must ensure you have the relevant Dokku plugins installed.
cd /var/lib/dokku/plugins
git clone https://github.com/rlaneve/dokku-link.git link
git clone https://github.com/jezdez/dokku-memcached-plugin memcached
git clone https://github.com/jezdez/dokku-postgres-plugin postgres
dokku plugins-installYou can specify the buildpack you wish to use by creating a file name .env containing the following.
export BUILDPACK_URL=<repository>You can then deploy by running the following commands.
git remote add dokku dokku@yourservername.com:foundation
git push dokku master
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku memcached:create foundation-memcached
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku memcached:link foundation-memcached foundation
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku postgres:create foundation-postgres
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku postgres:link foundation-postgres foundation
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku config:set foundation DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=RANDOM_SECRET_KEY_HERE
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku config:set foundation DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='config.settings.production'
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku config:set foundation DJANGO_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_AWS_ID_HERE
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku config:set foundation DJANGO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku config:set foundation DJANGO_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=YOUR_AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME_HERE
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku config:set foundation SENDGRID_USERNAME=YOUR_SENDGRID_USERNAME
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku config:set foundation SENDGRID_PASSWORD=YOUR_SENDGRID_PASSWORD
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku run foundation python manage.py migrate
ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku run foundation python manage.py createsuperuserWhen deploying via Dokku make sure you backup your database in some fashion as it is NOT done automatically.
