Design a unlimited number of business or information cards about yourself, share a link or QR code to them, print it out, and save other people's cards to your virtual wallet for later. Once you've created a card you can get analytics data on how your cards are getting visited, you can edit your cards as things change, and you can keep cards private so only people with a link to your card can see it.
Important
Cardie is currently in an open alpha. Things will be rapidly changing and bugs are to be expected.
First, clone this repository using the following command
git clone https://github.com/nfoert/cardie
Then, navigate to that directory and create a new python virtual environment
cd cardie
python3 -m venv .venv
Activate the virtual environment using the command for your system (Linux is used here) and install the required dependencies
source ./.venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, create a django superuser and make and migrate the models
cd cardie
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
Now just run the server using the following command, or run the Start server task in your Visual Studio Code
python manage.py runserver
Finally, navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin and log in using your new administrator account. Create a new Server object and be sure to configure the ip to be http://127.0.0.1:8000.
This depends on what server hosting provider you're using. However, there's a couple environment variables you need to set and there's a run command.
Set the following global environment variables:
-
DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS->${APP_DOMAIN}(This works on DigitalOcean, this may not work on every hosting provider) -
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE->cardie.settings_production -
DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL->WARNING -
STATIC_URL->/static/main -
SECRET_KEY-><your new secret key>(Generate this usingdjango.core.management.utils.get_random_secret_key(). If possible you should encrypt this value in your hosting provider.) -
DEBUG->False -
DATABASE_URL->${db.DATABASE_URL}(This works on DigitalOcean, this may not work on every hosting provider)
