LightMatter Django Template

ABOUT
=====================

A generic template for Django 1.6


Instructions
=====================
Follow the steps below to start a new project using this django template::

    $ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/Lightmatter/generic-django-conf/archive/master.zip  --extension=py,rb,sh,yml,project_name --name=Procfile <project_name>
    $ cd <project_name>
    $ chmod +x start.sh
    $ ./start.sh
    $ workon <project_name>
    $ python <project_name>/manage.py runserver

Deployment
=====================
This is ment to be deployed on the heroku

Create a heroku application and push the code there. You will need to set:

- The DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE variable to either "{{project_name}}.settings.heroku" or heroku_staging
- The aws settings in AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
- and finally the SECRET_ACCESS_KEY which can be generated via ```python -c 'import random; print "".join([random.choice("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)") for i in range(50)])'```

You can set the variables using the heroku command, the config:set argument and the --app flag:
```heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE={{project_name}}.settings.heroku-staging```
or
```heroku config:set SECRET_KEY=`python -c 'import random; print "".join([random.choice("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)") for i in range(50)])'````

Use the Mandrill addon to setup email -
```$ heroku addons:add mandrill:starter```

Make sure to add psql backup
```$ heroku addons:add pgbackups```

Add in the newrelic addon:
```$ heroku addons:add newrelic```

After pushing the code, you'll need to syncdb and run the initial migrations:
```$ heroku run python manage.py syncdb --migrate```
