ZAbacus Django-Graphene

GraphQL backend for ZAbacus application.

Requirements

Currently using Python 3.6.6. See requirements.txt for Python packages.

On Debian/Ubuntu you will probably need to install some mysqlclient devel headers. You will also need the Python development headers.

sudo apt install python3.6-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev

$ python3.6 -m venv venv
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ sudo apt install mysql-server

Set up the database (MySQL)

$ sudo mysql
> drop database if exists zabacus;
> create database zabacus;
> create user 'zabacus_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'SlZBmQHfASNWT6N';
> CTRL+C
$ ./manage.py makemigrations
$ ./manage.py migrate

Test run

$ export DJANGO_SECRET_KEY="$(python3 secret-key-gen.py)"
$ ./manage.py runserver

Deployment notes

You must create an environment variable $DJANGO_SECRET_KEY to run the server in deployment mode.

You must also use an environment variable $RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY for reCaptcha to work correctly on the production site. The default reCaptcha secret key only works for localhost.

MySQL will be used in deployment mode. Credentials should be supplied in zabacus/settings.py.

If you want to use the Django admin interface, generate static files by running

./manage.py collectstatic

Static files by default go to /var/www/zabacus-api/static/, make sure you can write to that directory.
Configure nginx to serve api.zabacus.org/static from the static file directory.
