• python 2.7
• redis-server
• postgresql
• NodeJS (See https://nodejs.org/en/ for installation instructions)
• supervisor
• uwsgi
• postgresq-server-dev-all
• python-pip python-dev
• libffi-dev

• Clone the repository
• bash make_venv.sh

1. Create a postgresql database
2. Edit pype/settings/dev.py with the postgresql database name, user, password
3. From within the source directory, run:

$ source rc.sh
$ python manage.py migrate
$ honcho start

The supported way to run the application is via uwsgi.

1. Create a postgresql database
2. Edit pype/settings/prod.py with your specific settings. The settings you are likely to need to change are:

• USE_SSL
• DB_NAME
• DB_USER
• DB_PASS
• ALLOWED_HOSTS
• BASE_URL
• MEDIA_ROOT

3. Change the secret key in pype/settings/secrets.json to a long random string
4. Run

$ source rc.sh
$ export DJANGO_MODE=WestLifeProd
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py assets build

5. Edit deploy/uwsgi.ini and deploy/pype.supervisord.conf and adapt all paths.
6. Copy pype.supervisord.conf to /etc/supervisor/conf.d and restart supervisor

The application should now be running on uwsgi://127.0.0.1:8101

You will need to configure your frontend web server to be able to access it. For apache, we recommend mod_proxy_uwsgi. For nginx, see https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/gateway-uwsgi-django/

A common task is to add static content pages to the site. The process to do this is the following:

• Clone this repository and follow the instructions to get a development application running
• Make a copy ui/templates/static_pages/westlife/example.html in the same directory, naming it however you want. Let's say mycontent.html
• Edit this file to add your content inside the "static_content" block. Note that you do not have to write the entire page structure (, , header menu, etc). Only your content. Django will fill in the rest using standardized templates.
• Edit ui/urls.py. Here, we decide at what url your static page will be available. Add a line to the westlife_pages array, following the same structure as the "example" line. The example line says that /pages/example/ will point to ui/templates/static_pages/westlife/example.html. Replacing both 'example' should be all you have to do.
• If all went well, your static page should be available in your development environment.
• Commit everything and make a pull request

TODO:

• Update the menus so the pages can be found.
