A local marketplace where users post small-jobs (favours) in exchange for cash; currently in beta. Favours-io plays out in the domain of collaborative consumption. Need a favour? Or want to make some quick cash committing to a favour? The application aims at bringing local communities together by leveraging local connections you have through existing social networks. Open-source and free.
This back-end codebase is found on on a Linode Linux server with SSH and firewalls (UFW) enabled. Running an Apache http server from Django's WSGI, and serving our static files on AWS S3. Kudos to LetsEncrypt for free SSL! The goal is to then leverage Django's built-in REST API to be consumed by Flutter for native mobile application.
- Python 3.7+
- Pip (package manager)
-
Fork and clone repo to local system
-
Create local virtual environment inside project directory, and activate.
python -m venv env source env/bin/activate # Linux/Mac env/Scripts/activate # Windows
-
Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Add new .env file, at project level.
Set DEBUG=True in dev. stage, and USE_S3=False to use local static files (.css, .js). Else, you will require AWS IAM credentials
DEBUG=<True or False> SECRET_KEY=<place-secret-key> AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=favours-bucket USE_S3=False
-
Ready to go! Now run Django
Note: running the Django server without the --settings=...dev arg will use static files from S3 bucket
python manage.py runserver --settings=favours.settings.dev
