Atlantis Dark - Starter generated by AppSeed.

✅ Environment

To use the starter, Python3 should be installed properly in the workstation. If you are not sure if Python is installed, please open a terminal and type python --version. Here is the full list with dependencies and tools required to build the app:

  • Python3 - the programming language used to code the app
  • GIT - used to clone the source code from the Github repository
  • Basic development tools (g++ compiler, python development libraries ..etc) used by Python to compile the app dependencies in your environment.
  • (Optional) Docker - a popular virtualization software

✅ Start in Docker

👉 Step 1 - Download the code from the GH repository (using GIT)

$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-atlantis-dark.git
$ cd django-atlantis-dark

👉 Step 2 - Start the APP in Docker

$ docker-compose up --build

Visit http://localhost:5085 in your browser. The app should be up & running.

✅ Manual Build

Download the code

$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-atlantis-dark.git
$ cd django-atlantis-dark

👉 Set Up for Unix, MacOS

Install modules via VENV

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Set Up Database

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

Start the app

$ python manage.py runserver

At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

👉 Set Up for Windows

Install modules via VENV (windows)

$ virtualenv env
$ .\env\Scripts\activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Set Up Database

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

Start the app

$ python manage.py runserver

At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.


✅ Manage App Users

By default, the starter is not provided with users. To access the private pages and the admin section (reserved for superusers) follow up the next sections.

👉 Create Superusers

To access the admin section, Django requires superuser privilegies. Let's create a new superuser and access the admin section of the project:

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

Once the superuser is successfully created, we can access the admin section:

http://localhost:8000/admin/ (make sure you have a / at the end).

👉 Create (Ordinary) Users

By default, the app redirects guest users to authenticate. In order to access the private pages, follow this set up:

  • Start the app via python manage.py runserver
  • Access the registration page and create a new user:
    • http://127.0.0.1:8000/register/
  • Access the sign in page and authenticate
    • http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/
