Environment notice

Environment notice helps to visually distinguish environments (e.g. development, staging, production).

Screenshot

To add the environment notice to every page in the admin, add following settings:

export DYNACONF_ENVIRONMENT_NOTICE__show=true  # false by default
export DYNACONF_ENVIRONMENT_NOTICE__environment_name='<Environment>'
export DYNACONF_ENVIRONMENT_NOTICE__background_color='<HEX color>'

See settings.yaml for default settings for each specified environment.

Installation

Prerequisites

its_on requires an SQL database and a cache storage engine. Currently, only PostgreSQL and Redis are supported as respective backends.

Manual

Clone repo:

$ git clone git@gitlab.com:bestdoctor/public/its_on.git

Install python packages:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Specify database and cache settings:

export DYNACONF_REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1
export DYNACONF_CACHE_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1
export DYNACONF_DATABASE__dsn=postgresql://user:password@127.0.0.1:5432/its_on

Apply database migrations:

$ alembic upgrade head

Create admin user:

$ python scripts/create_user.py --login=admin --password=password --is_superuser

Run server:

$ python -m its_on

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/docs in your browser and you are good to go!

Docker

Example docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
  cache:
    image: redis
    container_name: its-on-redis

  db:
    image: postgres
    container_name: its-on-postgres
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: strongpassword
      POSTGRES_USER: itson
      POSTGRES_DB: itson

  web:
    image: bestdoctor/its_on:latest-dev
    container_name: its-on
    environment:
      DYNACONF_HOST: '0.0.0.0'
      DYNACONF_DATABASE__dsn: postgresql://itson:strongpassword@db:5432/itson
      DYNACONF_REDIS_URL: redis://cache:6379/0
      DYNACONF_CACHE_URL: redis://cache:6379/1
    ports:
     - "127.0.0.1:8081:8081"
    depends_on:
      - cache
      - db

Don't forget to create a superuser:

docker exec -t its-on python scripts/create_user.py --login=admin \
                                                    --password=password \
                                                    --is_superuser
