django-vb-admin

Creates custom Django project layout. Compatible with Django 2.2.8 and requires Python 3.7.x. By default, project uses PostgreSQL, this means you need to install :) macOS users can install via brew install postgres

Installation

Let’s create PostgreSQL database first:

$ createdb -E UTF8 -T template0 my_project_dev  # create your database
$ createdb -E UTF8 -T template0 --lc-collate=tr_TR.UTF-8 --lc-ctype=tr_TR.UTF-8 my_project_dev  # or create your database with Turkish locale support

Now, install package:

$ pip install django-vb-admin

This package heavily depends on django-vb-baseapp. All the rake tasks are related to django-vb-baseapp. You don’t need to do anything, django-vb-admin installs required packages automatically.

Usage

After installation, you’ll have a command: django-vb-admin

$ django-vb-admin -h

usage: django-vb-admin [-h] [-t TARGET] [-v {0,1}] [--version]
                       [{startproject}]

Create new Django project

positional arguments:
  {startproject}        Name of command(s)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t TARGET, --target TARGET
                        Target path
  -v {0,1}, --verbosity {0,1}
                        Verbose mode
  --version             show program's version number and exit

Let’s create project:

$ mkdir /path/to/my-django-project/
$ cd /path/to/my-django-project
$ django-vb-admin startproject                             # create structure to current working directory

# or
$ django-vb-admin startproject --target="/path/to/folder"  # create structure to given path

When creation completed, you can create your virtual environment and set your environment variables:

export DJANGO_SECRET=$(head -c 75 /dev/random | base64 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c 50)
export DATABASE_URL="postgres://localhost:5432/my_project_dev"

then;

$ pip install -r requirements/development.pip

Heroku related packages: requirements/heroku.pip

-r base.pip
gunicorn==20.0.4
whitenoise==4.1.4
boto3==1.10.33
django-storages==1.8

Built-in support for AWS-S3 Storage. You need to create/get your:

• S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

and set those variables on Heroku. Please check config/settings/heroku.py for more details. Basic Heroku setup:

$ heroku login
$ heroku apps:create
$ heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
$ heroku config:set DJANGO_ENV="heroku"
$ heroku config:set DJANGO_SECRET='YOUR_GENERATED_RANDOM_SECRET'
$ heroku config:set S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID='YOUR_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'
$ heroku config:set S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='YOUR_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'
$ heroku config:set S3_BUCKET_NAME='YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME'
$ heroku config:set WEB_CONCURRENCY=3
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku run python manage.py migrate
$ heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser

If you want to use email reporter for Django errors, you need to set couple more environment variables on Heroku side too.

Linux/Production packages: requirements/production.pip

-r base.pip
uWSGI==2.0.18

Rakefile

If you have Ruby installed on your system (if you are on macOS you’ll have it by default) you can easily automate your basic operations. Run rake -T for listing available tasks:

$ rake -T

rake db:migrate[database]                                        # Run migration for given database (default: 'default')

rake test:browse_coverage[port]                                  # Browse test coverage
rake test:coverage[cli_args]                                     # Show test coverage (default: '--show-missing --ignore-errors --skip-covered')

Rake tasks are the wrapper for Django’s management commands. Mostly related to django-vb-baseapp application. Please checkout https://github.com/vbyazilim/django-vb-baseapp for more detail and examples. django-vb-baseapp has lot of features :)
