To install and run the project locally, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository using:
git clone https://github.com/evgvol/read_more.git
-
Create a .env file in the root directory of the project.
-
Add the following environment variables to the .env file:
SECRET_KEY='django-insecure-51ydgsn!flww^)=p+m5rkp=bpan@q*em8#u^40s^4ug94l6_j('
DEBUG=False
ALLOWED_HOSTS=127.0.0.1, localhost, web
EMAIL_HOST_USER='your-email@yandex.ru'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD='your-password'

VK_SECRET='vk-secret'
SOCIAL_AUTH_GITHUB_KEY='github-key'
SOCIAL_AUTH_GITHUB_SECRET='github-secret'
- Navigate to the project directory using:
cd backend
- Install the dependencies using the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Start the Redis using the following command:
docker pull redis
docker run -it --rm --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis
- Start the Django development server using the following command:
python manage.py runserver --settings=website.settings.local
#If you need a SSL using the command below:
python manage.py runserver_plus --cert-file cert.crt
-
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to view the application.
-
To add translations of your source code, use the following command:
python manage.py makemessages --all
- Edit
django.pofiles in the locale folder of each application using a text editor. After that, run the following command to compile translations:
python manage.py compilemessages
- Connect to your server via SSH, if you haven't already done so, and update the APT package index:
sudo apt update- Now update the packages installed in the system and install security updates:
sudo apt upgrade -y- Install the Russian localization using the built-in dpkg-reconfigure utility
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales - Restart the server:
sudo reboot- Next, install the necessary PostgreSQL packages:
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib -y- You can manage the database server using standard systemd commands:
sudo systemctl stop postgresql # Stop
sudo systemctl start postgresql # Start
sudo systemctl restart postgresql # Restart
sudo systemctl status postgresql # Find out status, current status- On the command line, on behalf of the postgres user, call the psql utility, this is a client program for connecting and managing a DBMS:
sudo -u postgres psql- Now, through psql, create a db_name database:
CREATE DATABASE db_name;
# Upon successful creation, CREATE DATABASE will return- Create a user registration record on the database server, then inform Django about this user's data (his username and password). As a result, Django will get access to the database under this name:
# Сreate a db_user user and come up with your password, more complicated than in the example
CREATE USER db_user WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'xxxyyyzzz';
# give the db_user user all rights when working with the db_name database
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE db_name TO db_user; - Configure access to PostgreSQL:
Make sure that PostgreSQL allows remote connection if necessary. Edit the pg_hba.conf file, which is located in /etc/postgresql/14/main/pg_hba.conf to allow remote connections if they are required.
- Configure PostgreSQL settings:
Change the PostgreSQL settings in the postgresql.conf file, which is located in /etc/postgresql/version/main/postgresql.conf. Some parameters that you may need to configure include listen_addresses, max_connections, and others depending on your needs.
- After making changes, restart PostgreSQL:
sudo systemctl restart postgresql- Install Redis:
You can install Redis on Ubuntu using the apt package manager:
sudo apt install redis-server- After the installation is complete, start the Redis service and enable it to start on boot:
udo systemctl start redis-server
sudo systemctl enable redis-server- Configure Redis (Optional):
By default, Redis is configured to bind to localhost. If you want to allow external connections or make other configuration changes, you can edit the Redis configuration file at /etc/redis/redis.conf.
bind 0.0.0.0- Make sure that Redis is really running on the server. You can use the following command to check:
redis-cli -h 001.222.333.444 -p 6379 ping
# If the connection is successful, PONG will returnThis project was created by Evgeniy Volochek. The Bootstrap framework was used to assist with the layout and styling of the website.
