About

This project is dedicated to my personal website. I've decided to have a "mono" repository where the backend part (Django) is located in the src subfolder and the frontend (without any JS framework yet) - in the src_front subfolder.

I shared the code in December 2023 and at that time it contained the copy of my "static" version of the site (from 2019) plus the Resume app that I have written to learn basics of Django Framework.

So, having it in public I can easily demonstrate my skills (or lack of them 😃) and my progress on learning web development.

🛠️ Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• Poetry 1.7+
• Node.js 14+
• Docker or PostgreSQL 16 server

💻 Installation

If you want to run this website locally, first you need to get the source code.

git clone https://github.com/hotenov/hotenov.com.git
cd hotenov.com

Second, build common static files.

Build static files

npm install
npm run build

Run local debug server

(without Docker)

1. Specify your PostgreSQL database credentials in _DockerStuff/.env.dev.local (all SQL_* environment variables)

2. Install dependencies

   poetry install
   

3. Activate your virtual environment

   poetry shell
   

4. Run Django debug server

   python src/manage.py runserver 8887
   

If you have Docker installed on your machine, you can spin up two containers: debug server and PostgreSQL server.
(However, you still need to build static files outside Docker. I plan to add a separate service for that someday)

Run DEV container

(optional) You can edit _DockerStuff/.env.boilerplate and change debug server port via WEB_PORT variable (default is 8833)

Execute the following command:
(If you are on Linux host, add sudo at the beginning)

docker compose -f _DockerStuff/docker-compose.yml up

🙏🏻 Credits

The Resume app was inspired by wagtail-resume plug-in (by Adin Hodovic).

I borrowed CSS layout for resume from Coding Market's YouTube video and a few styles from another video tutorial by Online Tutorials channel.

I integrated a couple of web components from codyhouse.co owned by Amber Creative S.R.L.

The initial "static" website was based on Clean Blog blog theme, created by Start Bootstrap.
