Using the config/settings/local.py being generated from config/settings/sample.local.py the app will not find start and crashes when having uncommented

THEME_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'theme')

The reason is that BASE_DIR is not defined because we also must import it in the first place via

import os
from . import BASE_DIR

Dear RDMO Team, is there the option for a direct version related download of the RDMO App like for the source code. For now I can only download the actual version of the RDMO app but for testing and version freeze it would be better to implement the version selective URL in my Dockerfile.

RDMO App Download URL for actual version: https://github.com/rdmorganiser/rdmo-app/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
RDMO App Download URL for specific version: xxxxxx ?

Thank you.

I've changed the rdmo-app to use environment variables (via python-dotenv) and split settings (eg. debug.py and production.py) in here:

• https://github.com/ULB-Darmstadt/rdmo-app/tree/main/config/settings

Would it be useful to make this the standard for the rdmo-app master branch?
Might be hard to say with all the different deployments of rdmo out there..

The split settings implementation could also be modified, to use a .py for each authentication method for example. (allauth.py, shibboleth.py, ldap.py etc..)

Should this repository be a template?
See: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-template-repository

Should it not be in the sample.local.py instead of hidden in rdmo/core/settings or the docs?
