This is a simple demo project with Lona, Picocss and Django as Database backend.

This project is intended as a simple starting point to create your own Web App with a full-blown database backend :-)

In this demo, we will use SQLite as database backend. But once you figure out how the Django database stuff works, you can still switch to something full-blown, eg. Postgres.

$ make db
$ make super-user
$ make server

And then go to http://localhost:8080. Log in with the credentials you've just entered :-)

• Your own Django models go into lona_project/database/models.py.
• Migrations live here: lona_project/database/migrations/.
• If you want it to be available in the Django Admin register your model in lona_project/_django/admin.py.
• The Django manage.py can be used as follows: First source env/bin/activate, then run lona_project/manage.py.
• Add your views to lona_project/views/.
• Afterwards define routes to the views in lona_project/routes.py.
• Want to change the Picocss menu? This resides in lona_project/settings.py.

I am just running the lona application server with systemd and serve it using my apache webserver. The database is just sqlite since I do not expect any heave load on this tooling. See examples in contrib/.
