Deploying to heroku

• Set environment variables:

  • DJANGO_SECRET_KEY

Setting Up Your Users

• To create a normal user account, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.

• To create an superuser account, use this command:

  $ python manage.py createsuperuser

For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.

Email Server

In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application. Download MailHog binary

Run the downloaded file using:

$ ./MailHog_something

Assuming the downloaded file is named MailHog_something

This will start an email server that listens on 127.0.0.1:1025 in addition to starting your Django project and a watch task for live reload.

To view messages that are sent by your application, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8025

The email server will exit when you exit on the CLI with Ctrl+C.

Sentry

Sentry is an error logging aggregator service. You can sign up for a free account at https://sentry.io/signup/?code=cookiecutter or download and host it yourself. The system is setup with reasonable defaults, including 404 logging and integration with the WSGI application.

You must set the DSN url in production.
