A web application for managing credentials.
Upgrade pip to the latest version:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Then we install virtualenv:
pip install --user virtualenv
With the next command we create a new python environment, using python version 3, so we can install the required modules without creating issues to other python applications:
virtualenv env --python=python3
if everything is ok you will see a new folder env inside the project folder.
In order to work in our new environment we need to activate it:
source env/bin/activate
We should see an (env) at the start of the command line
Now we are ready to install the required modules:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Before starting the application we initialize the database:
python manage.py migrate
We create a superuser for managing users and groups:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Before starting the application some configuration is required, create a new file named local.settings.py into the pwd_manager folder, just near the settings.py and add all the required variables.
Now we are ready to run the application:
$ ./pwd-manager-auto.sh
Before running the application in production, we should create a new SECRET_KEY, for security reason,
we can use the function django.core.management.utils.get_random_secret_key().
The variable DEBUG should be set to False.
Also we need to collect the static files since django will refuse to serve static files with DEBUG=False; we will use the command collectstatic provided by django:
$ python manage.py collectstatic --clear
A new folder static should be created under the project folder.
In the web server configuration we need to add the static location in order to serve those files:
location /static/ {
root /media/usb2/pwd_manager;
}
