DJ Checkup

Overview

DJ Checkup is a security scanner for Django sites. This package provides a command-line interface to run the security checks against your Django site. These are the same checks that are used by the DJ Checkup website at https://djcheckup.com.

Installation

This works best when installed with uv tool or pipx.

# With uv:
uv tool install djcheckup

# Or with pipx:
pipx install djcheckup

You can also run the tool without installing it:

# With uvx:
uvx djcheckup https://yourdjangosite.com

Usage

Run the djcheckup command-line utility with the URL of your Django site.

You'll see a nicely formatted report in your terminal:
