Secret Notes

This project is a clone of privnote. I did not like how a few things work with privnote so I decided to make my own version of it

Here's how this website is different than privnote:

• You can set the title of the note
• You can set how many reads are allowed
• You can set any time of expiry
• You can set the amount of reads as well as expiry time on the same note
• Note is not destroyed if the person enters a wrong password

Deploy Development

Deploy the docker-compose.yml file

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d

Run Migrations

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml exec web python manage.py migrate

Access on http://localhost:8000 or http://127.0.0.1:8000

Deploy Production

Copy .env.dev to .env.prod file and change sensitive information

Information to Change:

• Change DJANGO_DEBUG to 0
• Change DJANGO_SECRET_KEY using https://djecrety.ir/
• Change DB_PASSWORD and POSTGRES_PASSWORD to something secure (both values should be the same)
• Change CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS to your domain name

Deploy the docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.prod.yml file

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Run Migrations and Collect Static Files

docker container exec -it secret_notes_web_1 bash

Inside docker container, run

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic

Note

Django does not server static files in production, you need to serve the staticfiles/ folder at /static/ using nginx or any other web server
