# Installation

Install using `pip`...

pip install django-rok


# Quick Start
1. Add <b>"django_rok"</b> to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_rok',
]
```
2. Add the following parameters to the settings.py::
```python
ROK_REMOTE_HOST="192.168.1.1" # remote host ip
ROK_REMOTE_PORT=9000 # remote host port to connect to
ROK_USERNAME="root" # remote host username
ROK_PASSWORD="root" # remote host password
```

3. Instead of django runsver run this command::
```python
python manage.py runrok
```
This will run the rokserver as well as the django development server.


4. Now go to the url ```http://192.168.1.1:9000``` to access your local development server publicaly.


# Additional Configuration
1. Private key can be used to connect to the remote server. To do so add the following parameter to settings.py
```python
ROK_KEY="/path/to/private/key" # private key for remote host connection
ROK_PASSWORD=None # remote host password is not required since we are using private key
```

2. Rokserver can be started standalone without invoking the django development server. Thing can be achieved by setting env variable
```python
ROK_ENV="PRODUCTION"
```
3. Local port for rokserver can be changed by passing the ```-lp``` parameter
```
python manage.py runrok -lp 8080
```

# Command Line Usage
You can also pass the parameters through command line.

<b>Example:</b>
```
python manage.py runrok -r 192.168.1.1 -rp 9000 -u 'root' -p 'root'
```

To check the command line parameters run ```python manage.py runrok --help```
