Prelom

Django site for managing an online publication.

Setup

Before running pip install make sure the following packages are installed:

• postgresql-devel (libpq-dev in Debian/Ubuntu, libpq-devel on Centos/Fedora/Cygwin/Babun.)
• libjpeg (libjpeg-dev, zlib1g-dev)

On a Debian/Ubuntu system run:

sudo apt install libpq-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev

Within a virtualenv, run the following commands, in order:

pip install -r requirements.txt
cd django
python3 manage.py makemigrations journal cms uploads blog
python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
python3 manage.py loaddata initial_fixtures.json

Finally:

python3 manage.py runserver

You can find the admin interface at http://localhost:8000/sudo/ (for the superuser) or http://localhost:8000/editor/ (the link to give to editors). You can create users with editor permissions via the /sudo/ admin site: set is_staff to True, and give them any necessary permissions (there will be a permission group eventually, but for now you'll have to select them manually).

None of the links in the menu will work. You'll have to create the 4 categories (under the journal app) and the 2 pages (under the cms app).

Deploying in production

To deploy in production with Postgres, a custom secret key, and DEBUG=False, set the following environment variables within the virtualenv:

• POSTGRES_PASSWORD: the password for PostgreSQL
• DJANGO_SECRET_KEY: the SECRET_KEY used by Django (set to a random string)
• ALLOWED_HOST: e.g., 'notesfrombelow.org'
