Mediaclash Base CMS Project Template

This is the Mediaclash 'blank' CMS template for new projects. It's based on the torchbox vagrant django template from https://github.com/torchbox/vagrant-django-template

Getting Started

You'll need to install django 1.9+ on your development machine, either globally or inside a virtualenv. You'll also need fabric and fabtools installed

pip install django>=1.9
pip install fabric fabtools

Next, run the standard django startproject command, with this repository as the base template:

cd /my-development-folder/
django-admin.py startproject --template https://github.com/mediaclash/vagrant-django-template/zipball/master --name=Vagrantfile myproject
cd myproject
vagrant up

This process will:

• Download and setup a vagrant VM based on ubuntu 14.4 32-bit
• Update packages and install development dependencies
• Install and setup a postgres database in the VM, with access for the vagrant user
• Create shared folders for the project in /var/www/<project_name>/<project_name> ( in the VM )
• Create a virtualenv in /var/www/<project_name>/
• Install django, django cms, easy thumbnails, compressor, haystack and other useful bits.
• Install Apache SOLR for search provision.
• Forward 2 ports from the VM - 9000 for the django development server, and 9090 for tomcat / solr.

This process will not create a superuser account, you need to do this yourself:

vagrant ssh
python manage.py createsuperuser

There is also a simple fabric file that will just run the development server. Can be expanded based on your needs.

fab vagrant devserver
