Description

That's my own blog. Here I'll be able to share with you my opinion about something, a strange point of view, useful facts and interesting moments. The project was completely built using Django technologies, PostgreSQL database and AWS S3 statistical data storage space.
Deployed on https://news-habuu.ondigitalocean.app

Requirements

Project are using next technologies:

• Django 4.0.1
• Pillow 9.0.0
• django-simple-captcha 0.5.14
• django-debug-toolbar 3.2.4

Recommended modules

• psycopg2 2.9.3
• dj-database-url 0.5.0
• boto3 1.20.45
• django-storages 1.12.3
• django-ckeditor 6.2.0

Installation & Configuration

Before installing process, you have to be sure that Python and Git are installed on your device.

~$ mkdir temp && cd temp
~$ git clone <repo-name>.git
~$ cd mysite/
~$ python -m venv djangoenv

If you use package manager PIP try:

~$ source djangoenv/bin/activate
~$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Now lets configure a little bit our project: You have to create DB into your local PostgresSQL and configure environment variables. Also you could use sqlite DB ( fast run). For this, please overwrite DATABASE variable in settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
    }
}

Now you must setting other environment variables DEBUG

~$ export DEBUG=True;DEVELOPMENT_MODE=True

For using default Django's staticfiles manager, please comment this line into settings.py

from .cdn.conf import *  # comment this

Notice, functions that depend on E-Mail SMTP won't be work. So let's complete our installation.

~$ python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate
~$ python manage.py createsuperuser # and follow the instructions//
~$ python manage.py runserver

Warning! If you've got some troubles with django-debug-toolbar you should install this module or remove its from django settings.py and urls.py
