Welcome!

Introduction

This is Danish Data Science Communities internal website repository. If you are new to the Django webframework please take a look at the Django documentation

- Installing dependencies (Linux/MacOs)

Option 1: Using pyproject.toml (Recommended)

The project now uses pyproject.toml for modern Python package management. While positioned in the root folder, run the following commands:

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .

To install with development dependencies:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Option 2: Using requirements.txt (Legacy)

Alternatively, you can still use the legacy requirements files:

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r dev_requirements.txt  # for development dependencies

- App dependencies

The application has a range of dependencies used in production. To make developing look as much as production as possible we use docker compose to run Redis, MinIO and PostgreSQL. If you haven't got docker go get docker desktop here

If you have docker compose, run the following command while positioned in the root folder of the repository

docker compose up

This will start a range of backen applications needed.

-

While positioned at /ddsc-website/ddsc_web/ (same folder as manage.py file) run the following commands.

python manage.py migrate --settings=ddsc_web.settings.dev
python manage.py collectstatic --no-input --settings=ddsc_web.settings.dev

This will first create the tables in your database for the website application and then collect static files and put them into the S3 bucket.

- Starting the development server with Celery

To run the website development server, run the following command.

python manage.py runserver --settings=ddsc_web.settings.dev

To start the Celery task executioner run the below executable from a seperat terminal. NOTE that you will need to activate your virtual environment again in the new terminal.

./start_dev_celery.sh

If you want to be abble to access /admin you need a user with superuser status. Run the command below to create one.

python manage.py createsuperuser --settings=ddsc_web.settings.dev
