Djangae Template Project

This is a barebones project template configured for use on Google App Engine Standard using the Djangae framework.

Using the Djangae Scaffold template

1. Install any version of Django supported by Djangae
2. Run the following command, replacing myproject with the name of your project

$ django-admin.py startproject --template https://gitlab.com/potato-oss/djangae/djangae-scaffold/-/archive/master/djangae-scaffold-master.zip --extension py,yaml,md myproject

3. Create a virtualenv and activate it (e.g. virtualenv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate)
4. Install the requirements: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
5. Install the local development requirements: pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt
