Postern Notebook

Django-based project to store my events with you. Postern is basically a project with Worpress-like posting platform to store your stats and situations with your friends. In this journy, I'm going to show you how a tiny project gets bigger and bigger and how wonderful it goes on. You can also visit the Postern from here.

Set it Up

Let's take a look at how you can have this project on your local system. You just need to do exactly what I did. Be sure that you have already installed python>3.6.

Clone it

Linux

Let's clone the original Postern and install it's requirements locally. Clone the Postern repository with the following command.

git clone https://github.com/lnxpy/postern.git

Now, you just need to create a venv and install the requirements of Postern.

Create a Virtual Environment

Linux

Install the pip3 package on your system with the following command on your terminal.

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Now, you need to install the virtualenv of python3 using pip3 on your shell.

sudo pip3 install virtualenv

It's time to create a virtualenv and get ready for the next step. Fist, switch into the cloned directory to classify your project then create a venv locally.

cd postern
virtualenv -p /bin/python3.7 .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Now, you've switched into your virtualenv which is .venv. Let's install the requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt 

Finally, Run it

Linux

Before you could run it up, you need to create a database for your project. Use the following commands to create the sqlite database and get the first run of your project on your local system. Before you collect the database and run the project, be sure that DEBUG variable switched to True.

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver

Preview

Now, you should have something like this. You can change templates, add new views, add new features, and make it ready for the deployment on your specific server. Enjoy it.
