Silly Simple API

This is a Django Rest Framework template for deploying an app on https://fly.io

Some features of this template:

1. No session authentication - it assumes you use fly.io, which gives you access to run commands directly via manage.py
2. HTTP health checks - using fly.io's http checks, you can have fly connect to this app and issue a basic request against /ping/ to check DB connectivity
3. Local dev via docker compose and a Dockerfile to run the app
4. OpenAPI and Swagger ready via drf-yasg package
5. Ready to go: clone and run on fly via fly launch, then run a migration and get a dev token via:

• fly ssh console -C 'bash /app/provision_db.sh'
• fly ssh console -C 'python /app/manage.py migrate
• fly ssh console -C 'python /app/manage.py getdevtoken'
