Dev & Deployment

Both the backend and the frontend have been dockerized. Thus, regardless your platform, install Docker & docker-compose first.

For user

1. Clone the repo.
2. Go to the project root folder, docker-compose up --build -d.
3. Create a backend admin user: docker-compose run web python manage.py createsuperuser, and follow the instructions. Email is optional.
4. Go to browser http://localhost:8084, and use the user account to login.

Now you should be ready to use the application by adding stocks and sectors.

For developers

Modify code

Using the docker way is preferred. Code will be mounted into the docker as volume (see docker-compose.yaml for details). Thus changes done on your local editor will be reflected in the running docker as live.

Debugging

It may sound 1980. But the most effective way is to use docker-compose logs -f <service name> to see stack trace and/or error messages.

Testing

Looking for volunteers!!

For network admins

Network of the setup is fairly simple. We distinguish data vs. management:

ports
