GLAMkit is delivered as a Docker-compatible package, which means that it’s easy to share a consistent development environment across your team, or to deploy on any Docker-compatible web host, including top-tier cloud hosting services like AWS.
Quickstart, with Docker
The recommended installation method uses Docker. Docker works on OS X, Linux, and Windows, takes care of all the project dependencies (e.g. database, search engine, web server, etc.), and makes deployment easy.
If you’re not ready to use Docker, see Manual Installation.
Otherwise, if you haven’t already, install Docker.
1. Create a new project
$ bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ic-labs/django-icekit/master/startproject.sh) {project_name}
This will create a new project from the ICEkit project template, in a directory named {project_name} in the current working directory.
If you want to create a new project from the ICEkit develop branch, do this instead:
$ bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ic-labs/django-icekit/develop/startproject.sh) {project_name} develop
and change the icekit branch in the generated requirements-icekit.txt
from @master
to @develop
.
NOTE: Windows users should run this command in Git Bash, which comes with Git for Windows.
2. Run the project
Build a Docker image:
$ cd {project_name} $ docker-compose build --pull
Run a django container and all of its dependancies:
$ docker-compose run --rm --service-ports django
Create a superuser account:
# manage.py createsuperuser
Run the Django dev server:
# runserver.sh
3. That’s it!
Open the site in a browser:
http://localhost:8000
When you’re done, exit the container and stop all of its dependencies:
# exit $ docker-compose stop
