Unify locations of default configuration. #32

Closed DinoBektesevic closed 3 years ago

DinoBektesevic commented 3 years ago

Change the settings.py so that path configration occurs on top. Separate the configuration of locations where we store data from the static and media location used atm as a crutch. Add a env var that allows us to point to a different config file than the default one. In combination with making all paths in the DB relative ones, this affords us the opportunity to move our test data to a different repo.

Is technically not blocked by https://github.com/dirac-institute/trailblazer/pull/31 but should be manually tested with https://github.com/dirac-institute/trailblazer/pull/31 and (not yet existent) schema changes to make gallery code smoother before it's made into a full PR.

This seems to work ok with https://github.com/dirac-institute/trailblazer-testdata repository but should definitely wait for https://github.com/dirac-institute/trailblazer/pull/31 to merge to simplify conflict resolution.

Should add tests for the new methods, but they are very os module dependent so it can wait for a more general "URI" class based on posixpath and urllib.
