@baseplate-admin What's the state of this repository?

[baseplate-admin]

Hi, Thank you for reaching out.

Our backend has a pr:

• [Graphql] : Add more endpoints coreproject-moe/coreproject#3693

After merging that, i will look into this issue :)

@baseplate-admin Thanks for the response.

How does the backend work? Tried to run it locally but failed, any guidelines on that?

Hi,

How does the backend work? Tried to run it locally but failed, any guidelines on that?

So basically the backend doesn't have a standard deployment strategy ( i am thinking of dockerizing it, but on windows thats a pain )

Install the following

1. Postgres >= 16
2. Redis >= 5

Start redis.

Then create the following account in postgres:
username: coreproject
password: supersecretpassword
user: postgres

Follow these commands in order

1. git clone https://github.com/baseplate-admin/coreproject
2. cd backend
3. pipx install poetry
4. poetry install
5. poetry run poe sync
6. poetry run poe dev

If you want everything working you will also need to run celery.

Open another terminal and run

celery -A django_core.core worker -l info --uid=nobody --gid=nogroup

That should give you a debug backend

@baseplate-admin Thank you for the guide. I managed to get it working using docker, however, I only got these rest endpoints. is there any admin panel implemented? Also, I am thinking of re-writing the backend ...

I only got these rest endpoints. is there any admin panel implemented?

hey @fedirjh, there is an in-build django admin panel at- /admin
and a swagger ui for endpoints at- /api/v2/schema/swagger-ui

Hi @fedirjh, thank you for your input on this

however, I only got these rest endpoints. is there any admin panel implemented?

Yep, please login to https://localhost:8000/admin after creating an account using poetry run python ./django_core/manage.py createsuperuser

Also, I am thinking of re-writing the backend ...

As it stands, coreproject backend is very complex at this time (I think this is more than 2k loc), rewriting would also mean rewriting the underlying tools (some of these tools are django specific) powering the backend like django-ltree-2, modern-colorthief, django-hstore-widget,....

However it is doable given some time. But i gotta ask why did you suggest a rewrite of the backend?
