Open Parking

To Install Dependencies

You'll need python3 installed. It is handy to set up a virtual environment, with virtualenv for example. Also, make sure you have the latest versions of Node.JS and NPM installed. Once you have everything installed, you can install dependencies libraries with

pip3 install -r requirements.txt # Install backend dependencies
cd frontend/
npm install # Install frontend dependencies

To Load the Data into the Development Server

cd django-server/openParking
python3 manage.py migrate # Update the database schema
python3 manage.py loaddata fixture # Load all index data
cd ../../frontend

To Run the Development Server

For the backend server

cd django-server/openParking
python manage.py runserver

For the frontend

cd frontend/
npm start

To Update the Database (When the Model is Changed)

When a back-end guy does a change on the model, the SQL database needs to be updated. Here is how:

cd django-server/openParking
python manage.py flush --noinput
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py loaddata fixture

To Deploy

There is several steps to be followed in order to deploy the website.

Deploy Frontend

cd frontend/
npm install # Make sure npm installed the dependencies
npm run build

Deploy Backend

Make sure that django-server/openParking/openParking/settings.py contains the following settings (this should be the case on the deployment branch):

DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["localhost", "openparking.nl"] # Add all you IP addresses and domain names

# At the bottom of the file...
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")

And then run the following commands

cd django-server/openParking/

# Make sure the database is up to date
python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py flush --noinput
python3 manage.py loaddata fixture

# Copy the static file to the static file folder, ready to be served
python3 manage.py collectstatic
gunicorn --bind <your socket, such as localhost:8080 or so> --workers 3 openParking.wsgi:application
