• Docker (have it running systemctl start docker)
• Docker-compose
• Python 3.6 (Django cryptography doesn't work correctly in 3.9 at this time)

Use docker-compose.yml for development, it uses the Django built in runserver.

The application is already setup for development, whenever you launch Django, it will automagically create the db.sqlite3 file in the root of the Django app.

Once the server is up and running, we need to create the database, Django makes it easy. Just run the migrations:

sudo docker-compose exec notsignal python manage.py migrate

Now create a superuser:

sudo docker-compose exec notsignal python manage.py createsuperuser

• I f*cked up! How do I remove everything inside the containers? Check the containers ID with sudo docker ps -a and delete them with sudo docker stop IDhere otherID. Then proceed to nuke everything inside of Docker (WARNING THIS WILL REMOVE ALL CONTAINERS AND DATA) with sudo docker system prune -a. Yes this has happened to me so much that I needed to do a FAQ to remember it.
