Starting a new Django project can be a pain. Gotta get static files working, gotta get stuff ready for test deploys.

Setup

1. Set a new SECRET_KEY in project/settings.py (TODO: Create a new manage.py command to automate this)
2. Edit the Database settings in .env to best suit your needs

Create a .env file that will contain your settings and credentials like this:

DEPLOY='LOCAL'
PORT='8000'
DEBUG='True'
DB_ENGINE='django.db.backends.sqlite3'
DB_NAME='project_dev.sqlite'
DB_USER=''
DB_PASSWORD=''
DB_HOST=''
DB_PORT=''
FB_APP_ID='XXX'
FB_APP_SECRET='XXXX'
FB_NAMESPACE='XXX'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='XXX'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='XXX'
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME='XXX'

Running

This project comes bundled with a simple Procfile and .env so it plays nice with tools like Foreman or honcho out of the box. This also makes deploying to a service like Heroku super simple.

1. To start your local webserver you can:

foreman start

or

honcho start
