## Settings
Moved to [settings](https://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/1-getting-started/settings.html).
## Basic Commands
### Setting Up Your Users
- To create a **normal user account**, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.
- To create a **superuser account**, use this command:
uv run python manage.py createsuperuser
For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.
### Type checks
Running type checks with mypy:
uv run mypy blimp
### Test coverage
To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report:
uv run coverage run -m pytest
uv run coverage html
uv run open htmlcov/index.html
#### Running tests with pytest
uv run pytest
### Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation
Moved to [Live reloading and SASS compilation](https://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/2-local-development/developing-locally.html#using-webpack-or-gulp).
### Celery
This app comes with Celery.
To run a celery worker:
```bash
cd blimp
uv run celery -A config.celery_app worker -l info
```
Please note: For Celery's import magic to work, it is important _where_ the celery commands are run. If you are in the same folder with _manage.py_, you should be right.
To run [periodic tasks](https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/userguide/periodic-tasks.html), you'll need to start the celery beat scheduler service. You can start it as a standalone process:
```bash
cd blimp
uv run celery -A config.celery_app beat
```
or you can embed the beat service inside a worker with the `-B` option (not recommended for production use):
```bash
cd blimp
uv run celery -A config.celery_app worker -B -l info
```
### Sentry
Sentry is an error logging aggregator service. You can sign up for a free account at or download and host it yourself.
The system is set up with reasonable defaults, including 404 logging and integration with the WSGI application.
You must set the DSN url in production.
## Deployment
The following details how to deploy this application.
### Heroku
See detailed [cookiecutter-django Heroku documentation](https://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/3-deployment/deployment-on-heroku.html).
