A no fuzz imageboard created as a learning project to dive into Django. As such, it is still in early development and not ready for production.
This project uses Django and PostgreSQL. Make sure you have a PostgreSQL-server running.
To run the project, clone the repo and create a .env file in the root folder containing:
DB_HOST=<address of your postgresql server>
DB_NAME=<name of the database you want to use>
DB_USER=<postgres-username>
DB_PASSWORD=<postgres-user-password>
DB_PORT=<port to connect to your server, default is 5432>
DB_SECRET=<secret token>
To create a new secret token, you can import secrets in python and use secrets.token_urlsafe(<bytes>). It's common to precede django-insecure for dev environments.
Create a virtual python environment with the tool of your choice, for example venv:
python -m venv .venv
And activate it with source .venv/bin/activate.
Next, install the required modules with pip:
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
For convenience, the Makefile includes several targets - for this case, you can use make dev-install to install the dependencies.
To populate your database with the required tables and relations, run make dev-makemigrations followed by dev-migrate
To create an admin user, you can use python manage.py createsuperuser --settings=config.settings.dev
You should now be able to start the django server with make dev-start and access the site on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
