Installation with Docker

Edit the .env with your own settings. A secret key can be generated in Python REPL:

>>> from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key
>>> get_random_secret_key()

Create a .env.local with :

EMAIL_BACKEND=django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend
EMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
EMAIL_USE_SSL=False
EMAIL_PORT=587
EMAIL_HOST_USER= address of a gmail account
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=gmail account password

For the gmail account, it is better to create one specially for this. In "Manage your google account" / "security" activated the option "Less secure access of applications"

Then launch the dockers with:

sudo docker-compose up -d

You certainly want to apply databases migrations with:

sudo docker/migrate.sh

Browse the admin

Create a super-user:

sudo docker exec -it mvapi_web_1 python ./manage.py createsuperuser

Visit the admin page at http://localhost:8012/admin/.

Run the tests

sudo docker/test.sh

Create databases migrations

sudo docker/makemigrations.sh
