Getting Started

1. Prerequisites: Before you begin, make sure you have the following software installed on your system:

   • Django
   • Python (version 3.x)
   • Docker
   • A database management system such as PostgreSQL or MySQL

2. Clone the repository: To get started, you will need to clone the project repository to your local machine. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/lalalaurentiu/dontpad.git

3. Create a virtual environment: It is recommended to create a virtual environment in order to isolate the dependencies of the project from other projects on your system. You can use virtualenv or conda to create a virtual environment.

4. Install dependencies: Once you have your virtual environment set up, navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Create a database: You will need to create a new database for the project. You can use any database management system that is supported by Django.

6. Migrate the database: Run the following command to create the necessary tables in the database:

   python manage.py migrate

7. Run Docker and Redis: We will use a channel layer that uses Redis as its backing store. To start a Redis server on port 6379, run the following command:

   docker run -p 6379:6379 -d redis:5

8. Run the development server: You can now run the development server by running the following command:

   python manage.py runserver

   The application will be available at http://localhost:8000/

9. Create a superuser: You can create a superuser by running the following command:

   python manage.py createsuperuser
