Quick start

Several quick start options are available:

• Docker
• Python Virtual Environment

Setup with Docker

Dependencies

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Installation

Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/aichner/Wagtail-Template.git
cd Wagtail-Template
docker-compose up --build -d
docker-compose up

The demo site will now be accessible at http://localhost:8000/.

Important: This docker-compose.yml is configured for local testing only, and is not intended for production use.

Debugging

To tail the logs from the Docker containers in realtime, run:

docker-compose logs -f

Setup with Python Virtual Environment

You can start a Wagtail project from this template without setting up Docker and simply use a virtual environment, which is the recommended installation approach for all Python projects itself.

Dependencies

• Python 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7

Installation

With PIP installed, run:

git clone https://github.com/aichner/Wagtail-Template.git
cd Wagtail-Template
python --version
python -m pip --version

Confirm that this is showing a compatible version of Python 3.x. If not, and you have multiple versions of Python installed on your system, you may need to specify the appropriate version when creating the venv:

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Once a virtual environment has been created, it can be “activated” using a script in the virtual environment’s binary directory. The invocation of the script is platform-specific ( must be replaced by the path of the directory containing the virtual environment):

Platform	Shell	Command to activate virtual environment
Posix	bash/zsh	$ source /bin/activate
	fish	$ . /bin/activate.fish
	csh/tcsh	$ source /bin/activate.csh
Windows	cmd.exe	C:> \Scripts\activate.bat
	PowerShell	PS C:> \Scripts\Activate.ps1

Now we're ready to set up the project itself:

pip install -r requirements/base.txt

To set up your database and load initial data, run the following commands:

./manage.py migrate
./manage.py runserver
