This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing django-todo on Alpine Linux Latest. django-todo is a simple task manager for Django web framework.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to create a virtual environment for our project. Virtual environment allows us to isolate our project’s dependencies from the system wide python packages.
Navigate to the root directory of your project using the command line and run the following commands:
$ virtualenv -p python3 myenv
$ source myenv/bin/activate
These commands will create a virtual environment named ‘myenv’ and activate the newly created virtual environment.
Once the virtual environment is activated, run the following command to install django-todo:
$ pip install -U django-todo
This will download and install the django-todo package along with its dependencies to the virtual environment.
Now, we need to configure the Django settings to use the installed ‘django-todo’ app.
Navigate to your Django project directory and edit the ‘settings.py’ file.
$ cd /path/to/project/
$ nano settings.py
Add the following line to the INSTALLED_APPS list in the ‘settings.py’ file:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
…
'todo',
…
]
This will add the django-todo app to the installed apps list.
Next, we need to run migration commands to apply the changes to the database.
Navigate to your Django project root directory and run the following command:
$ python manage.py migrate
This will apply the necessary database changes.
Finally, we can start the Django development server using the following command:
$ python manage.py runserver
This will start the development server and you can access it using a web browser at http://localhost:8000/
Congratulations, you have successfully installed django-todo on Alpine Linux Latest!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
