Photo server 2021-2023

This project is a fork of Photo21 developped at ENS Paris-Saclay.

This is the source code for the webserver hosting pictures from the ENS Paris-Saclay student life.

The philosophy of this project is to keep this code as simple as possible to run and to maintain.

Setup

1. Dependency installation. If you are not using Debian, please feel free to adapt the following instructions.

   sudo apt install git gettext python3-django python3-django-allauth python3-django-crispy-forms python3-docutils python3-exifread python3-pil
   

2. Cloning. Change directory to where you want the project to be. In production, we usually use /var/www/photos/ as the root user.

   git clone https://codeberg.org/krek0/photo21.git && cd photo21
   

3. Configuration (production only).

   sudo mkdir static media
   sudo chmod +x maintenance_tool.sh
   

4. Database (production only). In development, you may use SQLite (no setup). In production, we use PostgreSQL which require a bit of setup:

   sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
   sudo -u postgres psql
   postgres=# CREATE USER photo21 WITH PASSWORD 'un_mot_de_passe_sur';
   postgres=# CREATE DATABASE photo21 OWNER photo21;
   

5. Initialization., In production, please use www-data user.

   ./manage.py collectstatic
   ./manage.py check
   ./manage.py migrate
   ./manage.py compilemessages
   
   # Only when creating a new database
   ./manage.py loaddata initial
   ./manage.py createsuperuser
   # change DEBUG to True in photo21/settings.py
