Archaeology database

This repository holds the source for a website that implements a handy database of archaeological sites across the world.

Demo

You can reach the site at http://archdb.tk/ and log in using the following credentials: username: demo, password: demopass

Running

NOTE

Code has been updated to run on Heroku, so if you have account there you can skip following lines and just deploy app there.

Configuration

By default app uses Django's DEBUG set to True and uses sqlite database backend. If you need to change this behaviour, you need to set few environment variables:

• set DEBUG to anything except 1, TRUE or Y;
• do the same for SQLITE;
• set DATABASE_URL to full database URI (see https://github.com/kennethreitz/dj-database-url for more details).

You can also set logfile name and allowed hosts with LOGFILE and ALLOWED env vars.

Steps

0. Setup a virtual environment: virtualenv venv && source venv/bin/activate
1. Install everything you need: pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Make migrations and migrate: python manage.py makemigrations archapp && python manage.py migrate
3. Create default filters: python manage.py loaddata archapp/fixtures/filters.json
4. Create administrator: python manage.py createsuperuser
5. Go! python manage.py runserver

If you really like production environments, you probably should consider deployment using nginx and gunicorn: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-14-04
