My personal Django/bootstrap for Heroku ready-to-go out-of-the-box repo

• on github make a new repo with vetletemplate as template. Give it the desired name.
• mkvirtualenv desired_name (or workon existing_venv - not reccomended)
• git clone https://github.com/vetleen/newrepo.git (where newrepo is the name of the new repo you just made) or use SSH-key
• sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libpq-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib
• pip install psycopg2-binary
• pip install -r requirements.txt (should have python installed)
• python manage.py makemigrations (should give no changes messages)
• python manage.py migrate
• python manage.py collectstatic (so we can run tests)
• python manage.py test (right now you need to remove https://testserver from the tests)
• python manage.py runserver
• open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in browser and it should work

#change the vetletemplate name

• change the name everywhere it appears -> first rename the project folder -> the run "grep -nir vetletemplate" to find in-file occurences, and change those
• should be: -> README (not stricly neccessary) -> wsgi.py -> urls.py -> settings.py -> asgi.py -> Procfile -> manage.py -> bunch of stuff in pycache (I deleted it, although I don't know if this is required)
• run grep again to double check
• python manage.py test (should not fail)
• python manage.py runserver -> Error stories: I once managed to rename my URLs import, whiich I wasn't supposed to do, which caused some confusion. But bugs can be fixed.
• open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in browser and it should work

#get onto heroku #alternative 1

• have heroku installed (> snap install heroku --classic)
• heroku login
• heroku create desiredappname
• update settings.pys ALLOWED_HOST-setting
• add and commit changes to git
• push to heroku (git push heroku master)
• heroku run python manage-py makemigrations (should give no changes message)
• heroku run python manage-py migrate
• heroku open
• try to sign up, log out, log in, change password and change user details.
• heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser
• try /admin/

#alternative 2

• make sure your new repo is up top date on github
• log in to github dashboard on their website
• create a new app
• (onnect github to heroku if you havent already)
• go to deploy banner
• choose github and choose the correct repo
• choose master branch and choose automatic deploys
• go to bottom and click the deploy button
• set environment variables (at least DJANGO_DEBUG and DJANGO_SECRET_KEY)

#have fun creating your next project!
