Backend

We choose Django because:

• Safe and handy access to database
• Python is a powerful language (Especially compared to some alternatives that we won't mention)
• Digital ocean has good support for it. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04

Install Requirements

• Python 3
• PostgreSQL

Run server (development)

• cd kiestze_django/
• pip install -r requirements.txt # Check this file to get a full list of packages.
• Create a file called secret.py in kiestze_django/kiestze_django/ with the variables key, psql_user and psql_password (you can generate a Django secret key on https://djskgen.herokuapp.com/)
• python kiestze_django/manage.py runserver to run the development server

This is only a development server. For setting up a production server (using nginx and gunicorn), see
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04

Run server (production)

• ssh kiestze.be
• cd /home/sam/kiest_ze
• git pull
• source env/bin/activate
• python3 manage.py migrate
• python build_steps.py
• Create a file called secret.py in kiestze_django/kiestze_django/ with the variables key, psql_user and psql_password (you can generate a Django secret key on https://djskgen.herokuapp.com/)
• Start nginx and gunicorn (follow digitalocean tutorial above for info on how to set it up)
• If already started: sudo systemctl restart gunicorn

All assets go through webpack to go minified. Javascript will also get bundles and be converted to simple javascript to work on all devices.

Install requirements

• NodeJS
• npm
• yarn

Run Frontend

• yarn development
• localhost:8080

Build Frontend

• cd kiestze_yarn
• yarn production (yarn production-windows on Windows)
