This is a set of default templates for Django projects, based on the reccomendations of the Two Scoops of Django book, especially for the structure of the settings. Make sure you use the correct branch for your project according to the version of Django you're using.
This branch contains a template that works with Django's latest stable version.
To create a new project using this template, do the following:
pip install django
django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/sephii/django-project-template/archive/master.zip myproject
cd myproject
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
echo "sqlite:///myproject.sqlite" > envdir/local/DATABASE_URL
python manage.py syncdb --all
python manage.py migrate --fake
python manage.py runserver
You can now start hacking!
- ALLOWED_HOSTS (1 host / line)
- DATABASE_URL
- NEVERCACHE_KEY
- SECRET_KEY
- STATIC_ROOT
The DATABASE_URL is set using
DJ-Database-URL. You'll find
examples for the different connectors on the project page but here's a short
list for convenience:
- MySQL: mysql://user:password@host/database
- PostgreSQL: postgres://user:password@host/database
- SQLite: sqlite:////absolute/path/to/db/file or sqlite:///relative/path/to/db/file
Also don't forget to install the related database driver if you use anything else than SQLite (MySQL-python for MySQL, psycopg2 for PostgreSQL).
