Mess

Django Web Messenger

(Sorry for my English)

Installation

Windows

• Download repo
• Run install.bat, it contains a few instalations throught env\Scripts\pip.exe (Yea I know about setuptools. I will fix it)
• Install Redis
• Base config in Mess\settings.py using default redis port - 6379
• Run setup.bat. It make migrations, apply it then setup.bat run manage.py createsuperuser and you must input username/email/password
• Default DB - default sqlite3
• Enter SECRET_KEY in Mess\settings.py

• Now you can run it!

Linux

• Same as on Windows but instead of .bat files use make install and make setup

Configurations

You can switch db on postgre (it works more faster):

• document this lines

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
    }
}

• undocument this lines

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'mess_db',
        'USER' : 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD' : '',
        'HOST' : '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT' : '5432',
    }
}

I will fix this document/undocument hell

• Create db mess_db by superuser (I heard that it is bad practice, will be fixed later)
• Then it must work
