Backend Maintenance

Backend is hosted on - https://dashboard.render.com/d/dpg-clqnopie9h4c73ao5fp0-a

1. Free Postgres DB expires in 90 days [today 10 DEC - next expiry 10 MARCH]
2. Make new postgres DB on render.com
3. Copy the external DB url and update DATABASE_URL in the backend service ENV VARS and save changes
4. Use clear build cache and re-deploy option to get the latest changes
5. Shell access is present only for paid services, the DB is fresh we need to apply migrations and create super-user etc..
6. Clone the project, remove old env and create a new one

rm -rf env
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

7. and in the .env file add the DATABASE_URL as the external URL of postgres from render.com

For super-user provide the same username and password as provided in env file / ENV VARS in render.com

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb
python manage.py createsuperuser

7. Now the /admin should work in the deployed backend, login and follow these for oauth setup - https://iamashutoshpanda.medium.com/google-login-with-django-react-part-2-2dc41b499861

8. Go to deploy section and clear cache and deploy site.
