Djoro server

Production environment

Launch the server for the beta test

(virt) python manage_beta.py runserver 0.0.0.0:9000

Development environment

Setup virtualenv

I strongly recommend using virtualenv to create customized python environment for development. Tutorial here: http://simononsoftware.com/virtualenv-tutorial/

Install python dependencies

(virt)-> pip install -r requirements.txt

First local install

Create the database:

 (virt)-> python manage.py makemigrations
 (virt)-> python manage.py migrate

Create a super user:

(virt)-> python manage.py createsuperuser

Start the server:

(virt)-> python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Caution: if you use localhost:8000 to request the server, you could have CSRF errors (cross site validation). To avoid this, request the server on its IP address instead of localhost. When you make requests on thermlabs.com server with postman, you have to be logged in order to avoid CSRF errors.

Development guidelines

Logging

One logger by django application named djoro.__application_name__. For example, use the folllowing code in a the thermostats application :

```
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('djoro.thermostats')

...

def whatever():
	logger.debug('log whatever message')
```
