This repository contains the code that one would eventually have were they to go through the Django Girls tutorial.

Expressing my authorial rights, some things are a bit different from the tutorial:

• A Log in and Log out links on the page header

• A Back link within the blog-detail and blog-edit pages

• A more extensive .gitignore file

• A .editorconfig file

• An additional python package in the requirements.txt: pycodestyle

• Within mysite/settings.py,

  • Use of Africa/Nairobi as my TIME_ZONE
  • Use of en-us as my LANGUAGE_CODE
  • Addition of 0.0.0.0 and .herokuapp.com to the ALLOWED_HOSTS list

In a python virtual environment, run:

• pip install -r requirements.txt
• python manage.py migrate blog
• python manage.py createsuperuser (to create user that you'll use to log in)

python manage.py runserver

Now, you are good to go. Your blog is ready.

python manage.py test

NB: The app instance will run off the a preset admin user as set in init.sh.

To spin up the application using docker, ensure that Docker is installed. Then run:

docker-compose up

Or in detached mode:

docker-compose up -d

The application will be live at 0.0.0.0:8000

• Click on Log in (you'll be redirected to the Admin page)
• On the admin page, fill in the credentials of the superuser created in Setup
• Click on the Log in button (You'll be redirected back to the page)
• Click on Log out to log out.

• Log in
• Click on the + button, enter the title and text
• Finally hit the Save button
