Setting up the local database

$ make database

make database drops then recreates the local database then loads db_template.sql so no migrations need to be run. Do this if you need a fresh database with no pre-existing pages or users.

$ make load_fixtures

To add some dummy content to your local database run make load_fixtures. This will overwrite your local database with data from db_fixtures.sql. This includes a dummy account with username "dev" and password "password".

To make sure setting up a fresh db is nice and speedy please make sure to run make db_template after adding any new migrations.

Image storage

Pages and images can be copied "upstream" from one environment to another. To facilitate this a single S3 bucket is used by all environments. A constraint of this approach is the bucket is immutable insofar as images can be uploaded but not deleted or changed.

The entries must be added on your conf/.env file:

AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Speak to a team mate or consult dev vault to retrieve the AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME.

/etc/hosts file entry

UI clients on local expect the CMS to be reachable at the address http://cms.trade.great.

 Add 127.0.0.1 cms.trade.great

You can test this works by attempting to visit http://cms.trade.great:8010/admin in your browser.

Session

Signed cookies are used as the session backend to avoid using a database. We therefore must avoid storing non-trivial data in the session, because the browser will be exposed to the data.

Staff SSO

On local machine, SSO is turned off by default. If you need to enable, set the FEATURE_ENFORCE_STAFF_SSO_ENABLED to true. You also need to set:

STAFF_SSO_AUTHBROKER_URL
AUTHBROKER_CLIENT_ID
AUTHBROKER_CLIENT_SECRET

Speak to webops or a team mate for the above values.

Cache

A cached version of the page is created every time the page is saved. Additionally, all the cache entries are recreated by a scheduled task using django-celery-beat. Make sure to add the rebuild_all_cache task to the scheduler via the Django admin interface.
