About

PawPrints petition application for the RIT community.

Installation

To get PawPrints up and running, you must have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.

Building Containers

Once you have Docker installed, clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/ritstudentgovernment/PawPrints.git

Next, copy the template.env file at the root of the project to .env and fill out the environment variables. When running the application locally, the SERVER_ENV variable should be set to local. The defaults should be sufficient for running locally.

cp template.env .env

Once you have the env file, simply run docker-compose up from the root project directory. This will take a few minutes as it builds the containers.

To ensure that all the containers are running, simply run docker ps you should have an output similar to the following

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES

Generate mock data

If running the application for the first time, there will be no data in the database. To generate mock data, you must run the mockdata script.

Before running the script, ensure that the containers are up and grab the name of the web container. Refering to the output of docker ps above, the web container is named pawprints_web_1.

Then to run the script, docker exec -it pawprints_web_1 python manage.py mockdata. The script will take a while to run as it generates the mock data.

Finally, to view the app, simply navigate to http://localhost:8000.

#Run pawprints locally:

--------after creating .env file--------- #continue in same terminal

  1. docker-compose up

#open new terminal 1.docker ps 2. docker exec -it pawprints-web-1 python manage.py mockdata 3. http://localhost:8000
