Ethgis

GeoNode template project. Generates a django project with GeoNode support.

Create a custom project

Note: You can call your geonode project whatever you like following the naming conventions for python packages (generally lower case with underscores (_). In the examples below, replace my_geonode with whatever you would like to name your project.

Using Docker

To setup your project using Docker, follow these instructions:

1. Install Docker (for Linux, Mac or Windows).

2. Run the following command in a terminal.:

   docker run -v `pwd`:/usr/src/app GeoNode/django:geonode django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project/archive/docker.zip -epy,rst,yml my_geonode
   cd my_geonode
   

If you experience a permissions problem, make sure that the files belong to your user and not the root user.

Using a Virtualenvironment

To setup your project using a local Virtualenvironment, follow these instructions:

1. Setup your virtualenvironment mkvirtualenv my_geonode

2. Install django into your virtualenviornment pip install Django==1.8.7

3. Create your project using the template project:

   django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project/archive/master.zip -epy,rst,yml my_geonode
   

Start your server

You need Docker 1.12 or higher, get the latest stable official release for your platform. Run docker-compose to start it up (get a cup of coffee or tea while you wait):

docker-compose up

Create the tables in your postgres database:

docker-compose run django python manage.py migrate

Set up a superuser so you can access the admin area:

docker-compose run django python manage.py createsuperuser

Access the site on http://localhost/

Recommended: Track your changes

Step 1. Install Git (for Linux, Mac or Windows).

Step 2. Init git locally and do the first commit:

git init

git add *

git commit -m "Initial Commit"

Step 3. Set up a free account on github or bitbucket and make a copy of the repo there.
