A django app running on Docker. Replaces Aus GLAM Blogs.

• cp .env.example .env and enter env values for your app
• set up web server config (nginx example coming soon)
• docker compose build
• ./glamr-dev migrate
• ./glamr-dev createsuperuser
• docker compose up -d
• set up database backups (as cron jobs): ./glamr-dev backup:
• set up cron jobs for management commands as below

Don't forget to add some Content Warnings for use by the Mastodon bot, within /admin.

Use glamr-dev to make your life easier (thanks to Mouse Reeve for the inspiration):

• announce
• backup
• check_feeds
• manage [django management command]
• makemigrations
• migrate
• queue_announcements
• send_weekly_email

And for dev work:

• black
• collectstatic
• createsuperuser
• pylint
• resetdb
• test

• users can register a blog, group, event, newsletter, or Call for Papers.
• most of these ask for an "owner email" - this is optional but allows us to communicate with the person registering.
• all registrations should trigger an email to admin
• all must be approved before they are included

There are four commands:

• announce
• check_feeds
• queue_announcements
• send_weekly_email

These will not be triggered within the app - they should be called via cron jobs.

This announces the next queued announcement on Mastodon.

Run every 21 mins.

This checks all blog feeds for any new posts, and adds them to the database as long as they don't have an exclusion tag and were not published during a time the blog was suspended.

Also checks newsletter articles if there is a feed.

Run every hour.

This queues announcements for events and CFPs. These are announced three times, evenly spaced between when they were added and when the event starts or the CFP closes.

Run daily.

Does what you think. Creates a weekly email of the latest stuff, and send to everyone in Subscribers.

Run weekly.

There is a backup command in glamr-dev. You can adjust the filepaths in your .env file.
