Tanzawa is a blogging system designed for the IndieWeb that focuses on sustainability.
We recommend using a fully managed host like Fly.io when running Tanzawa. There are setup instructions in the deployment documentation.
The simplest way to run Tanzawa locally is in a Docker container.
Running Tanzawa outside of Docker requires the following:
- Python 3.10 or higher
- Spatalite (Geo-enabled SQLite)
Please refer to the GeoDjango installation documentation for setting up the appropriate environment.
$ git clone git@github.com:jamesvandyne/tanzawa.git
$ cd tanzawa
$ docker image build . -t tanzawa
Prepare your .env file and generate a secure secret key and append it to your .env file
$ cp .env.sample .env
$ python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe())" | xargs -I{} -n1 echo SECRET_KEY={} >> .env
Start a container and open a shell.
$ docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 -v $PWD:/app -it tanzawa bash
$ cd /app
$ python3 apps/manage.py migrate
$ python3 apps/manage.py createsuperuser
Run Development Web server
$ python3 apps/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
