Qualia-Core

A base Django project and development environment to build Qualia Engines on top of.

Based on work done for Phase 2 Engines (iOrchestra, UPSU, Datalab, FLUX, Artory, Urban) packaged up and made reusable for future Phase 3 Engines. This repo will grow over time and respond to changes in technology and client needs.

Building the Environment

Requirements

• Ansible
• Vagrant
• VirtualBox

Starting up

From the project directory:

vagrant up

This will download the relevant Vagrant box, create the development environment and install the required packages. Once finished, you can use:

vagrant ssh

to connect to the box. To start the development server:

cd /var/www/qualia
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

The engine will be running on your machine. You can load the homepage in a web browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000
