Development quick start

This package uses Django in Docker and Angular CLI for development purposes.

  1. Start docker docker-compose up
  2. Migrate and create an admin user docker-compose run --rm web ./manage.py migrate
  3. Start the Angular CLI server. Ensure Node is installed. cd js, yarn, yarn start
  4. Django runs on port 8000 by default. Go to localhost:8000/admin and log in.
  5. Angular runs on port 4200. Now that you are logged in, go to localhost:4200
