• To work on the Django project,

  • You require the submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:DDMAL/docker-simssadb.git
  • Check if you have the latest branch in the django/simssadb folder execute git pull origin develop

• Make sure Docker Hub built the images correctly: ddmal/simssadb_django, ddmal/simssadb_postgres, ddmal/simssadb_nginx
• ssh into the staging or production server. Information on how to access them can be found on https://wiki.internal.simssa.ca
• Find where the current docker-simssadb repo is. It's normally in /srv/webapps/
