Software Requirements Specification

It will be uploaded at some point to serve as a reference.

Installation

Requirements:

Additional requirements without using Docker:

Steps without Docker:

Install Python 3 and create a virtual environment

$ python3 -m venv env

Activate the virtual environment

$ source env/bin/activate

Download all dependencies

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

If you want to use SQLite, change managed = False to managed = True in models.py and then launch the following commands

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

Or if you prefer to use MySQL, run init.sql script on your MySQL database and then create a file named .env with your database configuration:

MYSQL_HOST=localhost
MYSQL_PORT=3306
MYSQL_USER=yourDatabaseUser
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=yourDatabaseRootPassword
MYSQL_PASSWORD=yourDatabasePassword

This file is used by theskumar/python_dotenv library to add those variables to the environment, which settings.py consumes.

Notes:

  • You may use .env.sample as a reference

  • Do not rename MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and MYSQL_PASSWORD if you are using Docker. Those names are reserved by MySQL Docker image.

Steps using Docker:

Simply build the container

$ docker-compose build

Usage

Usage without Docker

Run a local server using your Python3 virtual environment

(env) $ python manage.py runserver

Usage with Docker

If you prefer to use MySQL, create a file named .env with your database configuration:

MYSQL_HOST=db
MYSQL_PORT=3306
MYSQL_USER=yourDatabaseUser
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=yourDatabaseRootPassword
MYSQL_PASSWORD=yourDatabasePassword

This file is used by theskumar/python_dotenv library to add those variables to the environment, which settings.py consumes.

Notes:

  • You may use .env.sample as a reference

  • Make sure your MYSQL_HOST is set to db. Otherwise, Django won't be able to locate the autogenerated database. That is because db is the name of the database service defined at docker-compose.yml

  • Do not rename MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and MYSQL_PASSWORD if you are using Docker. Those names are reserved by MySQL Docker image.

Run the container.

$ docker-compose up

Also, if you want to build, run and leave it as a background process, run the following command

$ docker-compose up --build --detach
