Manual Build

👉 Download code

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/rocket-django.git
$ cd rocket-django

👉 Create .env from env.sample

DEBUG=False

SECRET_KEY=<STRONG_KEY_HERE>

# For Myql or PgSQL Persistence 
# DB_ENGINE=mysql
# DB_HOST=localhost
# DB_NAME=appseed_rocket_django
# DB_USERNAME=root
# DB_PASS=
# DB_PORT=3306

# SMTP configaration
# EMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
# EMAIL_PORT=587
# EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
# EMAIL_HOST_USER=
# EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=

👉 Install Django modules via VENV

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

👉 Install Tailwind/Flowbite (another terminal)

Tested with Node v18.20.0 (use at least this version or above)

$ npm install
$ npm run dev
$ npx tailwindcss -i ./static/assets/style.css -o ./static/dist/css/output.css --watch # DEVELOPMENT (LIVE reload)
$ npx tailwindcss -i ./static/assets/style.css -o ./static/dist/css/output.css         # PRODUCTION

👉 Migrate DB

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

👉 Create Superuser & Start the Rocket Django Starter

$ python manage.py createsuperuser # create the admin
$ python manage.py runserver       # start the project

Start With Docker

👉 Download code

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/rocket-django.git
$ cd rocket-django

👉 Start with Docker Compose

$ docker-compose up --build 

Visit the app in the browser localhost:5085.

Use MySql

By default, the starter uses SQLite for persistence. In order to use MySql, here are the steps:

• Start the MySql Server
• Create a new DataBase
• Create a new user with full privileges over the database
• Install the MySql Python Driver (used by Django to connect)
  • $ pip install mysqlclient
• Edit the .env with the SQL Driver Information & DB Credentials

DB_ENGINE=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_NAME=<DB_NAME_HERE>
DB_USERNAME=<DB_USER_HERE>
DB_PASS=<DB_PASS_HERE>
DB_PORT=3306

Once the above settings are done, run the migration & create tables:

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

Production Build

To use the starter in production mode, here are the steps:

• Set DEBUG=False in .env
• Execute collectstatic command
  • $ python manage.py collectstatic --no-input

As a model, feel free to take a look at build.sh, the file executed by the CI/CD flow for Render:

Deploy on Render

• Create a Blueprint instance
  • Go to https://dashboard.render.com/blueprints this link.
• Click New Blueprint Instance button.
• Connect the repo that you want to deploy.
• Fill the Service Group Name and click on the Update Existing Resources button.
• Edit the Environment and specify the PYTHON_VERSION
  • Version 3.11.5 was used for this deployment
• After that, your deployment will start automatically.

At this point, the product should be LIVE.
