Django

📘

This section assumes you already have a project set up in Onboardbase Dashboard. If you don't, please create an account and get started!

Create a Django Project

We would be deploying the demo version of the create Django project.

From anywhere comfortable in your terminal, run:

python -m pip install Django

django-admin startproject managed-website

Then, change into the project folder cd managed-app and add a remote git URL.

git remote add origin [REMOTE_GIT_URL]

git push --set-upstream origin main

Finally, start the project with:

python manage.py runserver

Install Onboardbase CLI

Follow the installation guide to set up Onboardbase CLI for your machine.

Verify installation with onboardbase --version which would output the version of the CLI you just installed.

Authenticate Onboardbase CLI

From anywhere in your terminal, run onboardbase login, and accept to open the page in a browser.

On the authorization page, enter your email, and a confirmation link would be sent to the email. Click on the link, and your CLI should be authorized. Check your terminal to confirm.

Setup Onboardbase CLI

After successful installation, from the Django Project directory in your terminal, run:

onboardbase setup

This would list all your projects, select the react project, select the development environment and accept to add .onboardbase.yaml to your .gitignore file.

This would create an .onboardbase.yaml file that has all the details you selected during the setup and that would be used by the build script to know which secrets to pull into your django project.

Building with Onboardbase CLI

Since we have all our secrets on Onboardbase, we would be using the build tool from Onboardbase to load secrets into the project.

To do this, modify your start command:

python manage.py runserver 

To this:

onboardbase run -c 'python manage.py runserver'

Notice how we now use onboardbase run to serve the project.

Awesome!
