Development setup
Using docker
There is a Docker/docker-compose setup in the docker/ directory to ease development.
The Makefile
contains commands to help running commands in the docker container.
Initialise the development setup:
Copy dev settings (will overwrite existing), make sure submodules are updated, migrate and bootstrap devsite in one command:
make init
Run django management commands in the container
To run commands in the container use the following
make manage COMMAND=<command>
Common commands exist as own Makefile entries:
make shell # ./manage.py shell
make makemigrations # ./manage.py makemigrations
make migrate # ./manage.py migrate
Run the project using
make run
Manual setup
Clone the repo
Clone with --recursive to include submodules:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/bornhack/bornhack-website
If you already cloned the repository without --recursive, you can change into the directory and add the submodules with:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Virtualenv
Create a Python 3.7 virtual environment and activate it:
$ virtualenv venv -p python3.7
$ source venv/bin/activate
If you installed python3 using Homebrew on macOS, you will need to install virtualenv by running the following command first:
pip3 install virtualenv
System libraries
Install system dependencies (method depends on OS):
-
postgresql headers (for psycopg2):
- OpenBSD: pkg_add postgresql-client-11
- Debian: libpq-dev
- FreeBSD: databases/postgresql11-client
- macOS: If using the PostgreSQL.app, the headers are included, only path needs to be added
-
libjpeg (for pdf generation)
- OpenBSD: pkg_add turbo
- Debian: libjpeg-dev
- FreeBSD: graphics/jpeg-turbo
- macOS: brew install libjpeg
-
libmagic (might already be installed)
- OpenBSD: pkg_add libmagic
- macOS: brew install libmagic
-
GDAL (might already be installed)
- macOS: brew install gdal
-
wkhtmltopdf (also for pdf generation):
- OpenBSD: pkg_add wkhtmltopdf
- Debian: wkhtmltopdf
- FreeBSD: converters/wkhtmltopdf
- macOS: install from https://wkhtmltopdf.org/
-
fonts
- Debian: ?
- FreeBSD: x11-fonts/webfonts
- macOS: ?
-
Not handled by pip
- OpenBSD: py3-cryptography py3-zope.event
Python packages
Install pip packages:
(venv) $ pip install -r src/requirements/dev.txt
Postgres
You need to have a running Postgres instance (sqlite or mysql or others can't be used, because we use Postgres-specific fields and PostGIS/GeoDjango). Install Postgres and PostGIS, and add a database bornhack
(or whichever you like) with some way for the application to connect to it, for instance adding a user with a password. Connect to the database as a superuser and run create extension postgis
. The postgres version in production is 12 and the postgis version in production is 2.5. The minimum postgres version is 10, because we use GIST indexes on uuid fields (for ExclusionConstraints). You might also need create extension btree_gist
, again as a superuser.
Configuration file
Copy dev environment settings file and change settings as needed:
(venv) $ cp src/bornhack/environment_settings.py.dist.dev src/bornhack/environment_settings.py
Edit the configuration file, setting up DATABASES
matching your Postgres settings.
Database
Is this a new installation? Initialize the database:
(venv) $ python src/manage.py migrate
Is this for local development? Bootstrap the database with dummy data and users:
(venv) $ python src/manage.py bootstrap_devsite
If you run software other than GNU/Linux or on architecture other than amd64, you may get an error like this.
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/srv/opt/bornhack/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pulp/apis/../solverdir/cbc/linux/64/cbc'
In such case, skip the autoscheduler like so.
(venv) $ python src/manage.py bootstrap_devsite --skip-auto-scheduler
Done
Is this for local development? Start the Django devserver:
(venv) $ python src/manage.py runserver
Otherwise start uwsgi or similar to serve the application.
Enjoy!
Notes
Running tests
If your database user in your dev setup is not a postgres superuser you will encounter permission errors when the migrations try to create extensions "btree_gist" and "postgis". You can solve this by connecting to the "template1" database as the postgres superuser and creating the extensions there, which means they will be automatically loaded for all newly created databases.
Add a camp
Add a new camp by running:
(venv) $ python src/manage.py createcamp {camp-slug}
Then go to the admin interface to edit the camp details, adding the same slug that you just used and some current dates.
You can also specify details like:
- A sponsors page,
{camp-slug}_sponsors.html
, tosponsors/templates
. - A frontpage,
{camp-slug}_camp_detail.html
, tocamps/templates
. - A call for speakers page,
{camp-slug}_call_for_speakers.html
, toprogram/templates
. - A
static_src/img/{camp-slug}/logo
and add two logos:{camp-slug}-logo-large.png
{camp-slug}-logo-small.png
