regluit

A 'monolithic' alternative to unglu for the unglue.it website. regluit is essentially a Django project that contains three applications: frontend, api and core that can be deployed and configured on as many ec2 instances that are needed to support traffic. The key difference with unglu is that the frontend app is able to access database models from core in the same way that the api is able to...which hopefully should simplify some things.

Develop

Here are some instructions for setting up regluit for development on an Ubuntu system. If you are on OS X you will need to use Homebrew or some other package manager to install Python and python-setuptools in step 1:

1. aptitude install python-setuptools
2. sudo easy_install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
3. git clone git@github.com:Gluejar/regluit.git
4. cd regluit
5. mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages regluit
6. pip install -r requirements.pip
7. add2virtualenv ..
8. cp settings/dev.py settings/me.py
9. edit settings/me.py and set EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD to your gmail username and password, if you want to see that registration emails will work properly.
10. edit settings/me.py and look at the facebook, twitter and google auth settings to enable federated logins from those sites
11. echo 'export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=regluit.settings.me' >> ~/.virtualenvs/regluit/bin/postactivate
12. deactivate ; workon regluit
13. django-admin.py syncdb --migrate
14. django-admin.py testserver --addrport 0.0.0.0:8000 (you can change the port number from the default value of 8000)
15. point your browser at http://localhost:8000/
