Docker

In the docker subfolder, there are docker-compose.yamls for development and production use. For the development version, no further setup is needed.

Production

In production, the docker setup needs an external database. The exact access credentials are configured in the respective docker.env files.

Useful stuff

Reset database for certain app

The following can be useful in case that automatic migrations throw errors.

1. delete everything in the migrations folder except for init.py.
2. drop into my MySQL console and do: DELETE FROM django_migrations WHERE app='my_app'
3. while at the MySQL console, drop all of the tables associated with my_app.
4. re-run ./manage.py makemigrations my_app - this generates a 0001_initial.py file in my migrations folder.
5. run ./manage migrate my_app - I expect this command to re-build all my tables, but instead it says: "No migrations to apply."
