Deployment

A simple way to deploy is to install docker and start the containers

docker-compose up --build -d

If you encounter an error with invalid http headers, you may have an old docker engine version so just try the old build version

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 docker-compose up --build -d

Development

python3.11 -m venv env # create virtual environment
pip install -r requirements.txt # install dependencies
python manage.py migrate # migrate database
python manage.py runserver # run server

Tests

To run tests, simply run
