This Django template includes:

• JET admin interface
• Python slugify package
• Django Tailwind (node.js and npm required)
• Python dotenv package
• Basic templating structure
• Basic account functionality (login and logout)

1. Create virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   

2. Activate the environment:
   • Linux/macOS:

   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   • Windows:

   .venv\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Install tailwind dependencies:

   python manage.py tailwind install
   

5. Migrate:

   python manage.py migrate
   

In order to use the dotenv package, you will need to create a .env file in the root of your project. You can change the location of the file by modifying this line in the settings.py file:

# Load environment variables from .env
load_dotenv(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '.env'))

By default, the project settings gets DEBUG and SECRET_KEY values from .env file.

To run the development server, just run these two commands in separate terminals:

python manage.py tailwind start

and

python manage.py runserver

To run the development server in Docker, use the following command:

docker-compose -f docker/dev/docker-compose.yaml up

This will run 3 services:

• MySQL database
• Tailwind compiler
• Django web server
