This application leverages Django for the backend and the Leaflet JS library for interactive maps on the frontend. It relies on the Django geographical module GeoDjango, requiring GDAL for operation. PostGIS, the PostgreSQL spatial extension, is also necessary.

To set up the application locally on a Linux machine:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.

2. Every developer needs to create a .env file in the root directory of the project. This file should contain the following environmental variables:

   SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
   DB_NAME=your_database_name
   DB_USER=your_database_user
   DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password
   DB_HOST=your_database_host
   DB_PORT=your_database_port
   DATABASE_URL=your_database_url
   DEBUG=boolean_value
   ALLOWED_HOSTS=your_allowed_hosts

To set up the database using Docker:

1. Start the Docker container for the database using docker-compose:

   docker-compose up -d

2. Ensure that the PostGIS extension is enabled in the database:

   docker-compose exec db psql -U $DB_USER -d $DB_NAME

3. In the PostgreSQL prompt, run the following commands:

   CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
   \dx

To run the app locally using Gunicorn with UvicornWorker:

python -m gunicorn pathonout.asgi:application -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker

For frontend developers who need to download JSON data, you can access the JSON file provided by the backend by running the application and navigating to the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/markers/

This URL returns the JSON data that the backend sends to the frontend.
