bud's Issues

Display a "Down for maintenance" page when deploying code

It's a solution for the simple cases, but it's better than nothing.

Add an 'Under Construction' page

Create a view and template that shows 'Under Construction' to visitors.

Generate Django secret key

I want to find a way to generate the secret key when the project directory is created by cookiecutter. Since my projects will generally be private, I can store the key in version control.

Update README

The README still talks about Ansible and probably other things we're not using anymore.

Use shorter names for some environment-related files

I am referring to files called "development" and "production".

Update main urls.py and browser_app's views.py

Include browser_app/urls.py in the main urls.py

Home page returns an error, so add HomePageView in Views and link it to browser_app's urls.

add 'img' directory in browser_app/static

Add files to the browser_app

Please add the following files in the browser_app:

• urls.py
• forms.py
• templates / base.html, index.html needs to be modified to include base
• base.html should already be bootstrap ready (Bootstrap starter template)

Add autoreload for uwsgi on development

To avoid having to constantly ssh into the VM, uwsgi should have autoreload enabled on code changes.

Use the OS-specific "/var" directory

Currently, the project contains a /var directory that stores logs for celery, supervisor and other project-specific apps, as long as a /var/run directory for pids and sockets belonging to the same apps. I think it's better to move these in the OS's /var/log and /var/run and keep all in a directory with the same name as the project.

Prevent race conditions on pushing

I want to implement a mechanism so that only one person can push changes at one time. Anyone else would be stopped. This should be implemented with some kind of lock file.

Configure nginx for 404 and 500

Support Vagrant

Document how to interact with manage.py

Because we run Django inside a container, we have a script that launches the webcontainer and runs manage.py commands. We want to make that explicit.

Copy portions of the old repo 'django-startproject'

Bring back the `users` app

From what I can tell, it's a standard to have your own User model inherit Django's AbstractUserModel. That means we want to do that as well.

We were doing that anyway, but we removed the app during the migration to v3.0.

Add Mailhog settings

in Dev(Common):

EMAIL_HOST = "mailhog"
EMAIL_PORT = 1025

Add more tasks to the 'secure' role

Things I'm considering:

• turn on automatic security updates.
• install fail2ban
• configure iptables from the Linode docs

Introduce Ansible for provisioning

Make bud compatible with cookiecutter
