coalesce

An open source volunteer management platform. Check out the project's documentation.

Prerequisites

• Docker

Initialize the project

Start the dev server for local development:

docker-compose up

Once everything is running, you should be able to see:

• the api server at http://localhost:8000/,
• the frontend at http://localhost:8080/,
• the documentation at http://localhost:8001/.

Create a superuser to login to the admin:

docker-compose exec api ./manage.py createsuperuser

Run a command inside the api backend docker container:

docker-compose exec api [command]

For example, [command] can be /bin/bash and you get a shell to the running container.

Once you are in the container, you can then run the tests by doing:

./manage.py test

You can also start the django shell by doing:

./manage.py shell

To connect to the postgresql database, you can either do:

docker-compose exec postgres psql -U postgres

or connect to localhost on port 5432 using a local postgresql client.
