Enhance location information with GeoDjango #171

Closed NicoRyberg closed 2 years ago

[ ] Store location with GeoDjango
[ ] Save all the fields (apt, city, lat long, ...)
[ ] Customizable location preview text (Allow users to customize the str representation of the Location, which will be used by the serializer for APIs)

One small caveat is that supporting GeoDjango will require work on the infrastructure side. DigitalOcean DB supports the PostGIS extension, but the problem is the lack of GDAL libraries by default on their app platform containers.

After some initial research, it appears we can build from a Dockerfile in their app platform. (Versus default python buildpack from source)

Would be nice to have, but I think if it's too much work, using simple Decimal fields for lat/long is fine for now.
