agimpel.com

Personal website hosted on agimpel.com, powered by Django and deployed with Docker.

Getting started locally

After cloning the repository and installing the required Python packages, create the database with

python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate

Then create an admin account via

python manage.py createsuperuser

Set up environment variables with

export DJANGO_KEY="YOUR_KEY"
export DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS="localhost"

Finally start the development server with

python manage.py runserver

and navigate to the admin panel at localhost:8000/admin.

Deploy

It is recommended to set up a database using the local install (see above) before proceeding to deploy. In any case, this setup assumes the presence of a reverse proxy, such as nginx-proxy. First, edit the environment file .env to set up the correct variables. Then, build the Docker container and start the service via docker compose:

docker compose --env-file .env up -d

The initial build will take a few minutes.
