Configuration file

Edit the configuration file, replacing all the {{ placeholder }} patterns (intended for Ansible).

Database

Is this a new installation? Initialize the database:

    (venv) $ src/manage.py migrate

Is this for local development? Bootstrap the database with dummy data and users:

    (venv) $ src/manage.py bootstrap-devsite

Deploy camps+program test data

Run this command to create a bunch of nice test data:

    (venv) $ src/manage.py bootstrap-devsite

Done

Is this for local development? Start the Django devserver:

    (venv) $ src/manage.py runserver

Otherwise start uwsgi or similar to serve the application.

Enjoy!

Notes

Add a camp

Add a new camp by running:

    (venv) $ src/manage.py createcamp {camp-slug}

Then go to the admin interface to edit the camp details, adding the same slug that you just used and some current dates.

You can also specify details like:

• A sponsors page, {camp-slug}_sponsors.html, to sponsors/templates.
• A frontpage, {camp-slug}_camp_detail.html, to camps/templates.
• A call for speakers page, {camp-slug}_call_for_speakers.html, to program/templates.
• A static_src/img/{camp-slug}/logo and add two logos:
  • {camp-slug}-logo-large.png
  • {camp-slug}-logo-small.png

multicamp prod migration notes

• when villages.0008 migration fails go add camp_id to all existing villages
• go to admin interface and add bornhack 2017, and set slug for bornhack 2016
• convert events to the new format (somehow)
