mfinstop
==============================

Settings
------------

mfinstop relies extensively on environment settings which **will not work with Apache/mod_wsgi setups**. It has been deployed successfully with both Gunicorn/Nginx and even uWSGI/Nginx.

For configuration purposes, the following table maps the 'mfinstop' environment variables to their Django setting:

======================================= =========================== ============================================== ===========================================

Getting up and running
----------------------

The steps below will get you up and running with a local development environment. We assume you have the following installed:

* pip
* virtualenv
* PostgreSQL

First make sure to create and activate a virtualenv_, then open a terminal at the project root and install the requirements for local development::

$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt

.. _virtualenv: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/

You can now run the ``runserver_plus`` command::

$ python mfinstop/manage.py runserver_plus

The base app will run but you'll need to carry out a few steps to make the sign-up and login forms work. These are currently detailed in `issue #39`_.

.. _issue #39: https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/issues/39

**Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation**

If you'd like to take advantage of live reloading and Sass / Compass CSS compilation you can do so with the included Grunt task.

Make sure that nodejs_ is installed. Then in the project root run::

$ npm install grunt

.. _nodejs: http://nodejs.org/download/

Now you just need::

$ grunt serve

The base app will now run as it would with the usual ``manage.py runserver`` but with live reloading and Sass compilation enabled.

To get live reloading to work you'll probably need to install an `appropriate browser extension`_

.. _appropriate browser extension: http://feedback.livereload.com/knowledgebase/articles/86242-how-do-i-install-and-use-the-browser-extensions-

It's time to write the code!!!

Deployment
------------

It is possible to deploy to Heroku or to your own server by using Dokku, an open source Heroku clone.

Heroku
^^^^^^

Run these commands to deploy the project to Heroku:

.. code-block:: bash

heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python
heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev
heroku addons:add pgbackups:auto-month
heroku addons:add sendgrid:starter
heroku addons:add memcachier:dev
heroku pg:promote DATABASE_URL
heroku config:set DJANGO_CONFIGURATION=Production
heroku config:set DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=RANDOM_SECRET_KEY_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_AWS_ID_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=YOUR_AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME_HERE
git push heroku master
heroku run python mfinstop/manage.py migrate
heroku run python mfinstop/manage.py createsuperuser
heroku open

Dokku
^^^^^

You need to make sure you have a server running Dokku with at least 1GB of RAM. Backing services are
added just like in Heroku however you must ensure you have the relevant Dokku plugins installed.

.. code-block:: bash

cd /var/lib/dokku/plugins
git clone https://github.com/rlaneve/dokku-link.git link
git clone https://github.com/jezdez/dokku-memcached-plugin memcached
git clone https://github.com/jezdez/dokku-postgres-plugin postgres
dokku plugins-install

You can specify the buildpack you wish to use by creating a file name .env containing the following.

.. code-block:: bash

export BUILDPACK_URL=

You can then deploy by running the following commands.

.. code-block:: bash

git remote add dokku [email protected]:mfinstop
git push dokku master
ssh -t [email protected] dokku memcached:create mfinstop-memcached
ssh -t [email protected] dokku memcached:link mfinstop-memcached mfinstop
ssh -t [email protected] dokku postgres:create mfinstop-postgres
ssh -t [email protected] dokku postgres:link mfinstop-postgres mfinstop
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set mfinstop DJANGO_CONFIGURATION=Production
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set mfinstop DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=RANDOM_SECRET_KEY_HERE
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set mfinstop DJANGO_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_AWS_ID_HERE
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set mfinstop DJANGO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set mfinstop DJANGO_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=YOUR_AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME_HERE
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set mfinstop SENDGRID_USERNAME=YOUR_SENDGRID_USERNAME
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set mfinstop SENDGRID_PASSWORD=YOUR_SENDGRID_PASSWORD
ssh -t [email protected] dokku run mfinstop python mfinstop/manage.py migrate
ssh -t [email protected] dokku run mfinstop python mfinstop/manage.py createsuperuser

When deploying via Dokku make sure you backup your database in some fashion as it is NOT done automatically.
