Requirements

• Python 3.4
• PostgreSQL 9.4+ In Debian and derivatives, make sure postgresql-contrib is installed, it contains hstore support
• Pillow dependencies:
  • libjpeg-dev
  • libtiff-dev
  • zlib1g-dev
  • lcms2-dev

Designed for hosting in AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Local setup

TODO just run setup script

• pip install -r requirements.txt
• Install PostgreSQL, run psql:
  • create user photo with password 'xxxx';
  • create database photo with owner photo;
  • For unit testing support ONLY do: (security risk)
    • alter user photo createdb; (Needed for unit testing)
    • alter role photo superuser; (Use alter role photo nosuperuser; when done)
  • Otherwise do:
    • \c photo
    • create extension if not exists hstore;
• Store password in POSTGRES_PHOTO_PASSWORD environmental variable
  • bash$ export POSTGRES_PHOTO_PASSWORD='xxxx'
• Set DJANGO_SECRET_KEY before running. Can generate from Python console with

import random
print(''.join([random.SystemRandom().choice('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)') for i in range(50)]))

• Set DJANGO_DEBUG=1 for debug mode
• python manage.py migrate
• python manage.py collectstatic
• python manage.py createsuperuser
• python manage.py runserver
• May need to log in at //localhost/admin first

TODO

• Better UX
  • Merge User and Profile into single form?
• More restrictive user creation (Captcha? Invites?)
• Fine-grained file permissions for sharing files with friends and hiding from public
• Slick JavaScript-based frontend stuff (AngularJS? ReactJS?)
• Re-work to use RESTful API backend
