The Forge's website - tracks machine usage and calculates charges for members.

To install the app, you must have a working Python 3.7.x installation and PostgreSQL.

Required Python libraries:

• psycopg2
• argon2-cffi
• django

Recommended:

• bcrypt

The app currently expects a database user postgresql@localhost:5432 with password password. This behavior will be changed shortly to use environment variables to store database credentials. The program also currently expects a forge_devel database to have already been created. These settings can be found in forge/settings.py.

Before running the app for the first time, you should set up the database through Django. You can do this by running:

- python manage.py makemigrations
- python manage.py migrate
- python manage.py create_superuser

Note that create_superuser creates a user admin with password password for development. Don't do this in prod.

Afterwards, you can run the app by simply typing:

- python manage.py runserver

The site will be accessible at localhost:8000 (unless you specify another port as an argument to runserver). To access the Django admin panel, point your browser to localhost:8000/admin. To access the site, go to localhost:8000/machine_usage/. This behavior will soon change to hosting the site at the site root.
