Climate helpdesk
This repository holds the code for https://www.klimaathelpdesk.org, a website aimed at answering questions regarding climate change, global warming, and related. This project was built using Django & Wagtail.
This is the 2020 redesign variant by Fabrique. There are some changes.
Project setup
This project uses docker and docker-compose.
To build the containers with the right dependencies, install the node dependencies (for the style of the templates) and the pip requirements (for the django applications), use:
$ docker-compose -f local.yml build
Once this has been done, you can start the containers/services using the following command.
$ docker-compose -f local.yml up -d
This will take care of starting the database container and the webserver. You'll be able to load the website on your browser by visiting localhost:8000
If you remove the -d, you will see the logs on screen, but the containers will run only while your terminal is open.
To stop the containers you can use:
$ docker-compose -f local.yml down
You can run the other manage commands with:
$ docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django python3 manage.py command_name
For the frontend, we use webpack.
If you are running a container, webpack can be run with:
$ docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django /node_modules/.bin/webpack --mode=production
You can change the --mode to --mode=development.
You can also watch for design changes using:
$ docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django /node_modules/.bin/webpack --mode=development --watch
