✨ Start the app in Docker

Step 1 - Download the code from the GH repository (using GIT)

$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/appseed-projects/<YOUR_BUILD_ID>.git
$ cd <YOUR_BUILD_ID>

Step 2 - Edit .env and remove or comment all DB_* settings (DB_ENGINE=...). This will activate the SQLite persistance.

DEBUG=True

# Deployment SERVER address
SERVER=.appseed.us

# For MySql Persistence
# DB_ENGINE=mysql            <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker
# DB_NAME=appseed_db         <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker  
# DB_HOST=localhost          <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker 
# DB_PORT=3306               <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker
# DB_USERNAME=appseed_db_usr <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker
# DB_PASS=<STRONG_PASS>      <-- REMOVE or comment for Docker

Step 3 - Start the APP in Docker

$ docker-compose up --build 

Visit http://localhost:5085 in your browser. The app should be up & running.

✨ Set up the MySql Database

Note: Make sure your Mysql server is properly installed and accessible.

Step 1 - Create the MySql Database to be used by the app

• Create a new MySql database
• Create a new user and assign full privilegies (read/write)

Step 2 - Edit the .env to match your MySql DB credentials. Make sure DB_ENGINE is set to mysql.

• DB_ENGINE : mysql
• DB_NAME : default value = appseed_db
• DB_HOST : default value = localhost
• DB_PORT : default value = 3306
• DB_USERNAME: default value = appseed_db_usr
• DB_PASS : default value = pass

Here is a sample:

# .env sample

DB_ENGINE=mysql             # Database Driver
DB_NAME=appseed_db          # Database Name
DB_USERNAME=appseed_db_usr  # Database User
DB_PASS=STRONG_PASS_HERE    # Password 
DB_HOST=localhost           # Database HOST, default is localhost 
DB_PORT=3306                # MySql port, default = 3306 

✨ How to use it
