This demo site is deprecated, and will not be updated for Wagtail 2.0. For an up-to-date demo site, please see: https://github.com/wagtail/bakerydemo
This is a demonstration project for Wagtail CMS.
We do not recommend using this project to start your own site. This project is only to provide some examples of implementing common features, it is not an exemplar of Django or Wagtail best practice.
If you're reasonably new to Python/Django, we suggest you run this project on a Virtual Machine using Vagrant, which helps resolve common software dependency issues. However for more experienced developers, instructions to start this project without Vagrant follow below.
Once you're familiar with the examples in this project and you want to start a real site, we strongly recommend running the wagtail start command in a fresh virtual environment, explained in the Wagtail CMS Documentation.
Run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo.git
cd wagtaildemo
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
(then, within the SSH session:)
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
The demo site will now be accessible at http://localhost:8000/ and the Wagtail admin interface at http://localhost:8000/admin/ . Log into the admin with the credentials admin / changeme.
Don't want to set up a whole VM to try out Wagtail? No problem.
With PostgreSQL running (and configured to allow you to connect as the 'postgres' user - if not, you'll need to adjust the createdb line and the database settings in wagtaildemo/settings/base.py accordingly), run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo.git
cd wagtaildemo
pip install -r requirements.txt
createdb -Upostgres wagtaildemo
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py load_initial_data
./manage.py createsuperuser
./manage.py runserver
SQLite is supported as an alternative to PostgreSQL. Before running the pip install -r requirements.txt step above, delete the psycopg2 line in requirements.txt; then, in wagtaildemo/settings/base.py, update the DATABASES setting to use 'django.db.backends.sqlite3' and set NAME to be the full path of your database file, as you would with a regular Django project.
