Todo

https://todo.dmfstuff.xyz

Todo is a very basic CRUD app that is very robustly deployed.

I've made a few personal changes:

• In production.yml, the Traefik ports are set to localhost:801 and :4431. This is because Todo is hosted on my AWS EC2 instance, with other personal projects. To route traffic, I use Nginx as a reverse proxy. Nginx listens on ports 80 and 443, so, to avoid a conflict, I make Traefik listen on ports 80 #1 and 443 #1 and Nginx passes through the traffic. If you do this, be sure to pass through the original header of the request. By default, Nginx redefines the Host field in proxied requests, but Django is configured to only accept connections from the original Host and will reject all others. This is my Nginx configuration file.

• In .pre-commit-config.yaml, I've cut flake8. I've got black, it's enough.

• The main Django app providing the Todo functionality is called appcore. With hindsight, I might've called it either core or todocore. This is mostly a note to myself.

• In requirements/base.txt, pytz is commented out, as it is deprecated. In requirements/local.txt, I'm using psycopg2-binary, as I had issues with psycopg2.

• In config/settings/production.py, in order to use Amazon SES for email and avoid a NoRegionError, include the AWS region you're using. This Stackoverflow answer was helpful.

• In config/urls.py, the root URLs come from appcore, which makes much more sense to me than the using home or about pages that aren't connected to any app. I've cut those pages.
