Django Configuration

Configure

To use your own configuration values, create a file schoolidolapi/local_settings.py and never commit it to the repo.

You may need to override those values:

In a production environment

# Production Basics
SECRET_KEY = 'random generated string to change in production'
TRANSFER_CODE_SECRET_KEY = 'random generated string used to encrypt transfer codes'
DEBUG = False
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['schoolido.lu']

# Production S3 (file storage)
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = ''
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ''
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'schoolido.lu-assets'
IMAGES_HOSTING_PATH = 'http://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/schoolido.lu-assets/'

# Production SES (emails)
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_ses.SESBackend'
AWS_SES_REGION_NAME = 'us-east-1'
AWS_SES_REGION_ENDPOINT = 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
AWS_SES_RETURN_PATH = 'contact@schoolido.lu'
AWS_PASSWORD_EMAIL = 'password@schoolido.lu'

# Shrink images using tinypng API
TINYPNG_API_KEY = ''

# Use MySQL database (and not sqlite by default)
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
                    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
                    'NAME': 'schoolidolu',
                    'OPTIONS': {'charset': 'utf8mb4'},
                    'USER': 'root',
                    'PASSWORD': '',
                    'HOST': 'localhost',
                    'PORT': '3306',
                }
}

In a testing environment

# To log all the 500 errors in the terminal:
LOGGING = {
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'version': 1,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'level': 'DEBUG',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': True,
        },
    },
}


# To log all the database queries (useful for optimization):
LOGGING = {
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'version': 1,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
                        # logging handler that outputs log messages to terminal
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'level': 'DEBUG', # message level to be written to console
                    },
            },
    'loggers': {
        '': {
                        # this sets root level logger to log debug and higher level
                                    # logs to console. All other loggers inherit settings from
                                                # root level logger.
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': False, # this tells logger to send logging message
                                            # to its parent (will send if set to True)
                                                    },
        'django.db': {
                        # django also has database level logging
                                },
            },
    }
