Skatepedia

Warning

WORK in PROGRESS

Uses: Django + DRF + Postgresql + Celery + IPFS + Scrapy

Quickstart

Installation

Requires Docker and docker-compose

docker-compose build

docker-compose up

The docker-compose file defines two services:

• database: Postgresql

• service: django project with an API exposed in http://localhost:9000

  When running, migrations are checked and executed before running the wsgi server.

The .env file should be the main configuration file for all the services.

Database Configuration

For debugging purposes or to trigger django-admin commands, with both services running, open a bash session in the service container.

docker-compose run service bash

Run this once Configure superuser for Django's Admin Site

python manage createsuper user

Debugging and other configurations

Database introspection:

Open a psql :

`docker-compose exec database psql -d skatepedia -U admin`

Open a Django shell or run any other django-admin commands.

docker-compose run service python manage.py shell

Crawling data

Spiders may become outdated, as scraped websites may change or go offline

docker-compose run service scrapy crawl <spider_name>

Troubleshooting

• ipfs

skatepedia-api-ipfs-1      | Error: serveHTTPGateway: manet.Listen(/ip4/172.19.0.3/tcp/8080) failed: listen tcp4 172.19.0.3:8080: bind: cannot assign requested address

The docker-compose.yml ipfs service overrides the default healthcheck. If the service can't bind an address:port there might be an error in the ipfs config, try deleting the ipfs_data folder.
