CommitFest

This application manages commitfests for the PostgreSQL community.

A commitfest is a collection of patches and reviews for a project and is part of the PostgreSQL development process.

The Application

This is a Django 4.2 application backed by PostgreSQL and running on Python 3.x.

Getting Started

Ubuntu instructions

First, prepare your development environment by installing pip, virtualenv, and postgresql-server-dev-X.Y.

sudo apt install python-pip postgresql-server-dev-14

Next, configure your local environment with virtualenv and install local dependencies.

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r dev_requirements.txt

Create a database for the application:

createdb pgcommitfest

Create a local settings file (feel free to edit it):

cp pgcommitfest/local_settings_example.py pgcommitfest/local_settings.py

Now you can now create the required tables. Note that a password might need to be provided.

./manage.py migrate

You'll need either a database dump of the actual server's data or else to create a superuser:

./manage.py createsuperuser

Finally, you're ready to start the application:

./run_dev.py

Then open http://localhost:8007/admin to log in. Once redirected to the Django admin interface, go back to the main interface. You're now logged in.
