Installation

This is a server-side API based on Python and Django/DRF so first make sure you have python and pip installed.

First, clone this project in the appropriate location in your workspace.

Then, use virtualenv to isolate your development environment and setup the virtual env for this project: python -m virtualenv venv

The server can be run using the ./manage.py runserver method from the ./server/ directory.

Tests can be launched using ./manage.py test

You can create a superuser with ./manage.py createsuperuser to be able to access the back-office on http://localhost:8000/admin by default or everything else you previously defined.

Usage

You can navigate the API using the url http://myserver.com/docs/ (Swagger based OpenAPI documentation, default on localhost:8000).

ENVS

• DEBUG = False (if we should enable debug mode in django)
• SECRET_KEY = secret key for django

Dockerfile usage

You can also just build the available Dockerfile and run the server from there using the following commands:

git submodule init
git submodule update
docker build -t ocean-dbs .

Then you copy/paste the content of .env.example into .env (at the root of the project, and validate that everything is fine by running:

docker compose up
