Contained herein is some stuff I've found useful when setting up new Django projects.

You'll need to set up proto_django/settings/local_settings.py, but to review/find the variables you need to set you can run python manage.py test proto_django.tests until you don't get any errors.

Prerequisites

  • Postgres
  • Python 2.7
  • RabbitMQ
  • virtualenv and virtualenv-wrapper

Customizing for your environment

  1. Rename the project:

     PROJECT_NAME=example
 find * -type f -print0 | xargs -0 perl -i.bak -pe "s|proto_django|$PROJECT_NAME|g"
 find . -name '*.bak' -exec rm {} \;
 mv proto_django $PROJECT_NAME

  2. Set up rabbitmq:

     PROJECT_NAME=example
 RABBIT_USER=$PROJECT_NAME
 RABBIT_VHOST=$PROJECT_NAME
 RABBIT_PASS=
 sudo rabbitmqctl add_user $RABBIT_USER $RABBIT_PASS
 sudo rabbitmqctl add_vhost $RABBIT_VHOST
 sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p $RABBIT_VHOST $RABBIT_USER '.*' '.*' '.*'

  3. Install binaries:

  • postgresql server
  • graphviz and graphviz-devel

  1. Install virtualenv and modules so that you can have Django:

     make virtualenv
 workon $PROJECT_NAME

  2. Generate a SECRET_KEY for your local settings:

     from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string
 
 chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)'
 get_random_string(50, chars)

  3. Set up your local_settings.py in $PROJECT_NAME/settings/local_settings.py:

     SECRET_KEY = u'CONTENTS-FROM-THE-ABOVE-STEP'
 BROKER_URL = "" # have the shell echo "amqp://$RABBIT_USER:$RABBIT_PASS@localhost/$RABBIT_VHOST"
 CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = "amqp"
 CELERY_CONCURRENCY = 1
 CELERYD_NODES = "w1"

 # Example:
 DATABASES = {    'default': {
         'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
         'NAME': 'DATABASE-NAME',
         'USER': 'DATABASE-USER',
         'PASSWORD': 'DATABASE-PASS',
         'HOST': 'DATABASE-HOST',
         'PORT': 'DATABASE-PORT',
     }
 }

  4. Remove proto_django from the git remote list:

     git remote rm origin
