Install postgresql
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
We use virtualenv
for the python installation process. This is the recommended way of installing.
- Use the following link for the installation process.
Virtual environment installation
After this, you need to get the code using fork and git clone
Fork and clone the code using the following command.
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/your_gh_username/theJekyllProject
$ cd theJekyllProject
While in the virtual environment, use the following command to install the requirements
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Now you need to get tokens for the github app. Create the tokens with proper callback URI and add both things to djangoFiles/djangoFiles/settings.py
.
For this go to the link: https://github.com/settings/applications/new
with the following credentials:
- App name: jeklog
- Homepage URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
- callback URI: http://127.0.0.1:8000/oauth/complete/github/
Take the Client ID
and put it in the djangoFiles/djangoFiles/settings.py
file against variable SOCIAL_AUTH_GITHUB_KEY
and client secret
against variable SOCIAL_AUTH_GITHUB_SECRET
.
Use direnv
to host the settings in the .envrc
file.
Your .envrc
file should look like this:
export EMAIL_HOST_USER=xyz@xyz.com
export EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=pass123
export SOCIAL_AUTH_GITHUB_KEY=mojeiwej22i39j9
export SOCIAL_AUTH_GITHUB_SECRET=0jn92jnjr9n3j9k0000
After this you need to create the database. For this use the following command
This command will create jeklog user. Enter jeklog
as the password as well. You can choose some other name and change the configuration settings in the djangoFiles/djangoFiles/settings.py
$ sudo -u postgres createuser --no-createrole --no-superuser --login --inherit --createdb --pwprompt jeklog
After this create a database named jeklog with the created user, using the following command.
$ createdb --encoding=utf-8 --owner=jeklog --user=jeklog --password --host=localhost --port=5432 jeklog
Now start the server and hopefully, everything will work without any error. If some error occurs, let us know.
$ cd djangoFiles
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py runserver
We are going to use environment variables for settings file. Direnv
is a good tool for this purpose.
We are going to build a proper useable server for the admin users. So that you guys can run it on your system.
