Programming Discord Website
This repository contains our website, which is used for many different functions such as showing server statistics, allowing the reading and writing of programming guides, and more.
Initial Setup
The commands used here assume you're running from within the virtual
environment, excluding the pipenv installation step. You can run them
using either pipenv run 'command' or within pipenv shell.
If you don't have it already, install pipenv.
To install the dependencies for the project, use pipenv install.
Once that's done, you need to configure the Django
project itself. First, run python manage.py migrate
to apply all migrations to the database (this is a
SQLite database for development). Next, create a
superuser using python manage.py createsuperuser.
To set OAuth integration with Discord up, follow
the post-installation instructions for django-allauth.
Basically, you need to change the site domain of the one site
within the database (it defaults to example.com, put whatever you use
to access your local site there, probably 127.0.0.1:8000),
add a social application linked to the site, and you should be set.
Make sure that you use discoauth instead of discord for the social application.
Do note that you will have to set your redirect URL
to http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/discoauth/login/callback/, otherwise it won't work.
Next up, you need to set up your environment variables.
We recommend putting these into a file called .env,
since pipenv loads variables contained there automatically.
The following are required:
PGSQL_URL(in the formpostgres://user:pass@host/dbname)DISCORD_GUILD_ID
These should be fairly self-explanatory, but keep in mind that
you need to point the PGSQL_* settings to a database used by
an instance of statbot.
You can view setup instructions for statbot on the linked repository,
a docker-compose.yml file is included for simple setup.
If your PostgreSQL instance does not support SSL, set the
environment variable PGSQL_NO_SSL to any truthy value.
Setting DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL is optional.
Now that you've went through the long and motivating process of setting it up, you're finally able to run it locally...
Local Development
Finally, to start the app, simply use python manage.py runserver.
Set the environment variable DEBUG to 1 to enable debug mode,
for example with DEBUG=1 python manage.py runserver.
Running tests is sadly a bit more complicated, but it's also a one-time setup. You need to have the environment variables
PGSQL_TEST_URL(in the formpostgres://user:pass@host/dbname)
set, which should be self-explanatory. Do not point these to the same values that you were using above. Bad idea.
Finally, to run the tests, simply use python manage.py test.
You can also use the --keepdb flag which may speed them up a fair bit.
