```
> The bootstrap flow
- Django bootstrapper `manage.py` uses `core/settings.py` as the main configuration file
- `core/settings.py` loads the app magic from `.env` file
- Redirect the guest users to Login page
- Unlock the pages served by *app* node for authenticated users
## Recompile CSS
To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:
**Step #1** - Install tools
- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) 12.x or higher
- [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) - globally
- `npm install -g gulp-cli`
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) (optional)
**Step #2** - Change the working directory to `assets` folder
```bash
$ cd apps/static/assets
```
**Step #3** - Install modules (this will create a classic `node_modules` directory)
```bash
$ npm install
// OR
$ yarn
```
**Step #4** - Edit & Recompile SCSS files
```bash
$ gulp scss
```
The generated file is saved in `static/assets/css` directory.
## Deployment
The app is provided with a basic configuration to be executed in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/), and [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/).
### [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) execution
---
The application can be easily executed in a docker container. The steps:
> Get the code
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/creativetimofficial/argon-dashboard-django.git
$ cd argon-dashboard-django
```

```bash
$ sudo docker-compose pull && sudo docker-compose build && sudo docker-compose up -d
