- A Mysql database
- Access to terminal / command prompt or another way for running commands.
- Git installed.
- Docker installed.
The following steps assume you have your Terminal or Command Prompt open. You may need to prefix the
docker ...commands withsudoor similar alternatives
-
Download this repository:
git clone https://github.com/ajh123-development/website.git -
Change into correct directory:
cd website -
Configure environment files:
Step 1: Copy .env-sample to .env:
cp .env-sample .env
Step 2: Open the .env file:
Open the file in your favourite text editor e.g. Nano or Vscodium.
nano .env
Step 3: Change the settings inside the .env file:
Below will be an example
SECRET_KEY=your secret key # Use a proper long and randomly generated key.
DB_HOST=localhost # This assumes your database is on `localhost`.
DB_PORT=3306 # This assumes you use the normal database ports.
DB_NAME=miners_online # Using `miners_online` as an example database name.
DB_USER=root # You probably don't want to use `root` in production!
DB_PASS=password # Use your actual password here.- Start and build the docker containers:
docker compose up -d
If this command does not work you may need to do
docker-compose up -d
- Collect static files:
docker compose exec -it web python /home/app/web/manage.py collectstatic
If this command does not work you may need to do
docker-compose exec -it web python /home/app/web/manage.py collectstatic
- Create super user:
docker compose exec -it web python /home/app/web/manage.py createsuperuser
If this command does not work you may need to do
docker-compose exec -it web python /home/app/web/manage.py createsuperuser
This will ask for a new username, email, and password. Make sure you use a good strong password because this account will have access to all data in the Django admin interface (and the database).

EMAIL_ACCOUNT=no-reply@example.com # The email account's email address.
EMAIL_HOST=mail.example.com # The SMTP server address.
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=password # Your email password.
EMAIL_HOST_USER=no-reply@example.com # The SMTP server username. Normally just your email address.
# TLS / SSL and EMAIL_PORT depends on your email server's configuration. Please consult their documentation.
EMAIL_USE_TLS=1 # 0 = no SMTP TLS, 1 = SMTP TLS. `EMAIL_PORT` = 587.
EMAIL_USE_SSL=0 # 0 = no SMTP SSL, 1 = SMTP SSL. `EMAIL_PORT` = 465.
EMAIL_PORT=587-
Start database migrations:
python src/manage.py migrate -
Create super user:
python src/manage.py createsuperuser
This will ask for a new username, email, and password. Make sure you use a good strong password because this account will have access to all data in the Django admin interface (and the database).
