✨ Quick Start in Docker

👉 Get the code

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/api-server-django.git
$ cd api-server-django

👉 Start the app in Docker

$ docker-compose up --build  

The API server will start using the PORT 5000.

✨ How to use the code

👉 Step #1 - Clone the sources

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/api-server-django.git
$ cd api-server-django

👉 Step #2 - Create a virtual environment

$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Unix based systems)
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$
$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Windows based systems)
$ # virtualenv env
$ # .\env\Scripts\activate

👉 Step #3 - Install dependencies using PIP

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

👉 Step #4 - Create a new .env file using sample env.sample

The meaning of each variable can be found below:

• DEBUG: if True the app runs in develoment mode
  • For production value False should be used
• SECRET_KEY: used in assets management
• GITHUB_CLIENT_ID: For GitHub social login
• GITHUB_SECRET_KEY: For GitHub social login
