SpeedPyCom Starter Template

Quickstart

This is the starter backend boilerplate SpeedPyCom.

Edit any files you want to change and start building your project.

It is recommended to avoid editing project/settings_base.py for ease of future updates.

Update SpeedPyCom

To update speedpycom-backend update the requirements.txt and settings_base.py files.

Get the template and start work

For local development you should have Docker instance running locally.

Read more about docker-compose.yml down the document.

curl -sSL https://gitlab.com/speedpycom/speedpycom-backend/-/archive/main/speedpycom-backend-main.zip > speedpycom-backend-main.zip
unzip speedpycom-backend-main.zip

mv speedpycom-backend-main myproject
cd myproject
cp start.env .env

Apply migrations with:

docker compose run web python manage.py migrate

Create a superuser account:

docker compose run web python manage.py makesuperuser

The output of the last command will display the login and password for the admin user that was created, like this:

admin user not found, creating one
===================================
A superuser was created with email admin@example.com and password xLV9i9D7p8bm
===================================

Run the project with:

docker compose up

Open http://127.0.0.1:8060/admin/ and login with these credentials.

Docker-Compose.yml for local development

This template implies using Docker for local development.

If you don't have Docker installed go to https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop and follow installation instructions for your OS.

docker-compose.yml file has a number of services defined to run the project.

To reduce the initial resource usage on your machine only few of them are uncommented and will be used:

redis
db
web

If you need Celery - uncomment all lines for the celery service.

Same way, if you need Celery Scheduler – uncomment celery-beat service.

Flower (celery monitoring) is also included, uncomment flower service in order to have it running.

For the purpose of using less resource of your machine Redis is used for Celery broker by default.

You can easily switch to using RabbitMQ by uncommenting rabbitmq service and rabbitmq in all services' links and depends_on sections.

Then in .env change the broker setting to this: CELERY_BROKER_URL=amqp://speedpycom:speedpycom@rabbitmq/speedpycom and docker-compose restart so the new settings are applied.

Dockerfile

Dockerfile contains instructions for convenient development. Uncomment the useradd and USER lines to develop within GitPod environment.

Deployment

In order to deploy the project on https://Appliku.com we have included the Procfile with commands needed to run your project.

User model

Project template comes with a custom user model in the app usermodel.
