In a real project I would of course not include env files, and instead I would list all the important variables and what they represent, but as this is just a recruitment task I've decided to include the env files I used in the repository to make the project setup easier.

In the main project directory:

• run docker compose build
• run docker compose run web python manage.py makemigrations
• run docker compose up

That's all!

After making sure there's no other service using port 80 (if you want to use other ports, you can do so in docker-compose.prod.yml in ports in the nginx service, but urls generated by the API will be lacking the port number), in the main project directory:

• run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
• run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml run web python manage.py makemigrations
• run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml run web python manage.py migrate
• run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml run web python manage.py createsuperuser and follow the superuser setup
• run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml run web python manage.py loaddata initial_data.json
• run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Before you start using the API you either have to set a tier for the superuser, or create a new user in the Admin UI.

I've written some tests to show that I can write them, but they are extremely lacking because I didn't have much time this week to work on this project. In a work environment I would of course write a complete test suite.
