Initial Setup
Development Prerequisites
To set up the project for development, follow these steps:
- 
Create a virtual environment:
python -m venv venv - 
Activate the virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate - 
Install the development requirements:
pip install -r requirements/requirements-dev.txt - 
Build the image and run the container:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build -dOr you can use the shortcut:
make build-dev 
Now you can access the application at http://localhost:8000. With the development environment, you can make changes to the code and the changes will be reflected immediately.
Production
To set up the project for production, follow these steps:
- Build the image and run the container:
Or you can use the shortcut:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build -dmake build-prod 
Shortcuts
To make development easier, there are a few shortcuts available:
Create migrations:
make make-migrations
Run migrations:
make migrate
Run the linter:
make lint
Run the formatter:
make format
Run the tests:
make test
Create a super user:
make super-user
Build and run dev environment:

Build and run prod environment:
make build-prod
