2 years ago Hey @sthapa, thanks for reaching out.
Please be aware that since your deployment, froide is now recommended to be used as a set of Django apps rather than as a standalone project.
The main active deployment is FragDenStaat.de (Code. That repo uses the froide apps, but also adds a some other site-specific apps and configuration.
A simpler and only slightly dated deployment is the Austrian version FragDenStaat.at (Code), which also seems to have a docker-compose setup (/cc @fin).
So the best way to proceed would be to setup a separate Django project that:
- imports URL patterns from froide and uses them (example here)
- imports settings and adjusts/extends them as necessary (example here)
- overrides templates as needed (see Django docs)
I'm closing this and encourage you to ask further question in discussions.
Hi, I'm working with @ryankanno on updating the uipa site (https://uipa.oprg, https://github.com/CodeforHawaii/uipa_org ) which is based on a really old version of the froide code. The first thing I'm doing is trying to get a docker compose file to stand it up on containers and update things to use recent versions of postgresql and other components.
Has anyone else worked on this before or do you have any tips on the best way to do this so that you can also use our changes?
