Tasks Collector

My own approach to keep track of my life.

Installation

Note: if you are a lazy hog, please scroll down to the "Docker" section.

Prerequisites

Database

createuser -P tasks
createdb -E utf8 tasks -O tasks

Node

To install nvm use official guide https://github.com/creationix/nvm#install--update-script.

If you are using zsh shell you can use one of those guides to make nvm work inside shell:

• https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/tree/master/plugins/nvm
• https://github.com/lukechilds/zsh-nvm

After setup nvm you can use this command to install specific node package

nvm install 10

To choose one of installed nvm version type:

$ nvm use 10
Now using node v10.10.0 (npm v6.4.1)

Setup

Python

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements/local.txt // or requirements/dist.txt in production environment

JS Stack

npm install
npm run watch-assets // or npm run build for one-time compilation

If you want to build production assets, use:

make static

Django

Provided that editor symlinks to vim, emacs or nano:

make config
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py createsuperuser
./manage.py runserver

Alternatively, copy the tasks/settings/db.py.base to tasks/settings/db.py and modify it to your needs, then run the rest of the commands.

Notes for deploy

Provided that editor symlinks to actual editor:

make deployconfig

Alternatively, copy the tasks/settings/email.py.base to tasks/settings/email.py and modify it to your needs, then run the rest of the commands.

1. Ensure that DJANGODIR in bin/gunicorn.base is proper.

Docker

Prerequisites

To run this project in dockerized development environment the following dependencies must be present in the system:

• docker (18.06.0+)
• docker-compose (1.22.0+)

Running the project in development mode

This project supports dockerized development environment, so you actually don't need to do any of the above steps. To run the project in dockerized mode enter the docker/development directory and run:

docker-compose up

The application will be available at http://localhost:8000. The database will be spawned, the migrations will be run automatically, all deps installed (for both Python and JS) and the code will be automatically reloaded when changes occur (for both assets and backend code).

Running commands in the container

To run commands in the running container (for instance: installing new packages, running tests, running Django commands etc.) please run in the separate terminal window (while docker-compose up is running) the following command:

docker-compose exec tasks-backend bash

This will start interactive bash session that will allow running all the commands within running container.

Getting the database dump

First, log in to the server and run:

sudo -u postgres pg_dump "$1" > "$1"-`date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H%M'`.sql

Then, copy the dump file to the local machine:

scp user@server:~/'*.sql' ~/databases
docker-compose exec tasks-db psql tasks -U tasks -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE; CREATE SCHEMA public;"
docker-compose exec -T tasks-db psql tasks -U tasks < ~/databases/tasks-[...].sql
