Charting Library Save/Load Backend
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This is the tiny backend implementing Charting Library charts storage.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
Python 3x, pip, Django, Postgresql
|
|
|
|
## How to start
|
|
|
|
1. Install Python 3.x and Pip. Use virtual environment if your host has older python version and it cant be upgraded.
|
|
2. Install PostgreSQL or some other Django-friendly database engine. Also you might want to install PgAdmin or any other administrative tool for your database.
|
|
3. Go to your charts storage folder and run `pip install -r requirements.txt`. Unix users : you have to have python-dev package to install `psycopg2`.
|
|
4. Create an empty database in Postgres (using either command line or `pgadmin`). Go to `charting_library_charts` folder and set up your database connection in `settings.py` (see `DATABASES` @ line #16).
|
|
5. Run `python manage.py migrate`. This will create database schema without any data.
|
|
6. Generate a secret key by running `python -c 'from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())'`
|
|
7. Set your secret key to your environment variables `export SECRET_KEY='...'`
|
|
8. Run `python manage.py runserver` to run *TEST* instance of your database. Use some other stuff (i.e., Gunicorn) for your production environment.
