Grid7

Overview

Grid7 is a Django-based application designed for managing various features related to Formula 1 products. This README provides instructions for setting up the project on both Linux and Windows environments.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker (version 20.10 or higher)
• Docker Compose (version 1.29 or higher)

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

Open your terminal or command prompt and run:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/grid7.git
cd grid7

2. Create the .env File

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project. This file will store environment variables for your application. You can create it with the following command:

touch .env

Add the following environment variables to your .env file:

DEBUG=True
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
DB_NAME=grid7
DB_USER=your_db_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=5432

Make sure to replace your_secret_key_here, your_db_user, and your_db_password with actual values.

3. Start the Docker Containers

To build and start the Docker containers, run:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker-compose up --build -d

4. Run Migrations

Once the containers are up, run the following command to apply database migrations:

docker-compose exec web python manage.py migrate

5. Create a Superuser (Optional)

To create an admin user for the Django admin panel, run:

docker-compose exec web python manage.py createsuperuser

Follow the prompts to set up your admin user.

6. Access the Application

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/. You should see the application running.

7. Stopping the Containers

To stop the running containers, execute:

docker-compose down

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter a ProgrammingError stating "relation 'django_session' does not exist," ensure you have run the migrations.
• If you see any port conflicts, check if the specified ports (e.g., 5432) are in use and adjust them in the docker-compose.yml file.
