The Django Base Site is a skeleton base site that can be used to jumpstart any new Django site. Brent O'Connor created it so he could use it personally to jumpstart any of his new Django projects. Please feel free to fork this project and adapt it to your own personal taste. To setup a new website just follow the setup instructions.

If you want to try out the django-base-site using Vagrant then you first need to install vagrant of course. Then you can do the following to get things running.

$ cd ~/Sites/
$ git clone git://github.com/epicserve/django-base-site.git
$ cd django-base-site
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
$ workon django-base-site
$ drs

You should now have the django development server running in your Vagrant virtual machine. You can now open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your local web browser and you should be able to see the message, "You've successfully setup a Django base site. Start Coding!".

Now you can just edit your django-base-site files locally in the ~/Sites /django-base-site directory and Django's runserver that's running in the virtual machine will detect any changes that are made.
