It's reccomended to have a look at: https://www.djangoproject.com/start/

Basic tutorial that walks trough what the different files do. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial01/

Create a virtualenv https://docs.python-guide.org/dev/virtualenvs/

Fork the project and clone it to your machine.

Naviagate into the project folder.

pip install virtualenv

virtualenv env

For mac/linux:

source env/bin/activate

For windows:

env\Scripts\activate.bat

If you get an error related to charmap on Windows, run this command: set PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: Mac users may get an error related to psycopg2. To fix this try running:

pip install psycopg2==2.7.5

python manage.py migrate

Create a local admin user by entering the following command:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Only username and password is required

python manage.py runserver

You can add initial data either by going to the url the app is running on locally and adding /admin to the url.

Add some categories and you should be all set.

Or by entering

python manage.py loaddata seed.json

Copy agreelance/local_settings_example.py to agreelance/local_settings.py and replace the email placeholder values with values dscribes in the email section later in the instructions.

To support sending of email you will have to create a gmail account and turn on less secure apps. Do not use your own email as Google might lock the account. See https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en for instructions for turning on less secure apps.

To get email working on heroku you might have to visit https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and click continue as the heroku server is in another location and Google thinks it is a hacking attempt.

Continuous integration will build the code pushed to master and push it to your heroku app so you get a live version of your latest code by just pushing your code to GitLab.

1. Fork the project at GitLab
2. Create a heroku account and an app.
3. Set the project in the .gitlab-cs.yml file by replacing <Your-herokuproject-name> with the name of the Heroku app you created - dpl --provider=heroku --app=<Your-herokuproject-name> --api-key=$HEROKU_STAGING_API_KEY
4. Set varibles at GitLab
   • settings > ci > Environment Variables
   • HEROKU_STAGING_API_KEY = heroku > Account Settings > API Key
5. Add heroku database
   • Resources > Add ons > search for postgres > add first option
6. Set variables at heroku. Settings > Config vars > Reveal vars
   • DATABASE_URL = Should be set by default. If not here is where you can find it: Resources > postgress > settings > view credentials > URI
   • EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD email password. Not mandatory if you do not want to send email
   • EMAIL_HOST_USER email adress. Not mandatory if you do not want to send email
   • IS_HEROKU = IS_HEROKU
7. On GitLab go to CI / CD in the repository menu and select Run Pipeline if it has not already started. When both stages complete the app should be available on heroku. Staging will fail from timeout as Heroku does not give the propper response to end the job. But the log should state that the app was deployed.
8. Setup the applications database.

• Install heroku CLI by following: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli
• Log in to the Heroku CLI by entering heroku login. This opens a webbrowser and you accept the login request.
• Migrate database by entering heroku run python manage.py migrate -a <heroku-app-name>. Heroku run will run the folowing command on your heroku instance. Remember to replace <heroku-app-name> with your app name
• and create an admin account by running heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser -a <heroku-app-name>.
• seed database heroku run python manage.py loaddata seed.json -a <heroku-app-name>

heroku pg:reset DATABASE_URL -a <heroku-app-name>
