Please see https://github.com/AnonSolutions/django-aries-community for detailed docmentation

Quick start

You can find a basic Aries Community application here https://github.com/AnonSolutions/aries-community-demo

To add aries_community to your own django application:

1. Copy the requirements.txt file into your application directory and install requirements

2. Add “aries_community” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'aries_community',
]

3. Add the following Indy configuration settings (this is for a local install):

import platform

def file_ext():
    if platform.system() == 'Linux':
        return '.so'
    elif platform.system() == 'Darwin':
        return '.dylib'
    elif platform.system() == 'Windows':
        return '.dll'
    else:
        return '.so'

ARIES_CONFIG = {
    'storage_config': {'url': 'localhost:5432'},
    'storage_credentials': {'account': 'postgres', 'password': 'mysecretpassword', 'admin_account': 'postgres', 'admin_password': 'mysecretpassword'},
    'register_dids': True,
    'ledger_url': 'http://localhost:9000',
    'genesis_url': 'http://localhost:9000/genesis',
    'default_enterprise_seed': 'aries_community_enterprise_00000',
    'default_institution_seed': 'aries_community_institution_0000',
    'managed_agent_host': 'localhost',
    'webhook_host': 'localhost',
    'webhook_port': '8000',
}

4. Ensure your local templates are loaded first:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...
        'DIRS': [
            os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '<your app>/templates'),
        ],
        ...
    },
]

5. Override User, Organization and Relationship models, if you have your own subclass of these models:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'aries_community.IndyUser'
ARIES_ORGANIZATION_MODEL = 'aries_community.IndyOrganization'
ARIES_ORG_RELATION_MODEL = 'aries_community.IndyOrgRelationship'

6. Include the indy URLconf in your project urls.py like this:

path('aries/', include('aries_community.urls')),

7. Ensure you have all pre-requisites running, as per django-aries-community docs

8. Run python manage.py migrate to create the indy models.

10. Run python manage.py runserver and connect to http://localhost:8000/

You can customize the UI and add event handling for Aries Connection and Messaging events. See the demos in https://github.com/AnonSolutions/aries-community-demo for examples of how to do this.
