DjangoX can be installed via Pip or Docker. To start, clone the repo to your local computer and change into the proper directory.

$ git clone https://github.com/wsvincent/djangox.git
$ cd djangox

$ python -m venv .venv

# Windows
$ Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
$ .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# macOS
$ source .venv/bin/activate

(.venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
(.venv) $ python manage.py migrate
(.venv) $ python manage.py createsuperuser
(.venv) $ python manage.py runserver
# Load the site at http://127.0.0.1:8000

To use Docker with PostgreSQL as the database update the DATABASES section of django_project/settings.py to reflect the following:

# django_project/settings.py
DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
        "NAME": "postgres",
        "USER": "postgres",
        "PASSWORD": "postgres",
        "HOST": "db",  # set in docker-compose.yml
        "PORT": 5432,  # default postgres port
    }
}

The INTERNAL_IPS configuration in django_project/settings.py must be also be updated:

# config/settings.py
# django-debug-toolbar
import socket
hostname, _, ips = socket.gethostbyname_ex(socket.gethostname())
INTERNAL_IPS = [ip[:-1] + "1" for ip in ips]

And then proceed to build the Docker image, run the container, and execute the standard commands within Docker.

$ docker-compose up -d --build
$ docker-compose exec web python manage.py migrate
$ docker-compose exec web python manage.py createsuperuser
# Load the site at http://127.0.0.1:8000

• Add environment variables. There are multiple packages but I personally prefer environs.
• Add gunicorn as the production web server.
• Update the EMAIL_BACKEND and connect with a mail provider.
• Make the admin more secure.
• django-allauth supports social authentication if you need that.

I cover all of these steps in tutorials and premium courses over at LearnDjango.com.
