what does your settings file look like?
surreal whale
Give me a second
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
}
}```This is the part that you need right?
surreal whale
Nothing
blank file
from django.contrib import admin
# Register your models here.```Oh I see
I'm dum
I need to register the tables
simple sentinel
You'll need to register the models you'd like to see in the admin side, yeah
simple sentinel
Last time I did this my file looked like:
from .models import Room, Player, Server
admin.site.register(Room)
admin.site.register(Player)
admin.site.register(Server)
Ah ok thanks
@simple sentinel
still doesn't register
from django.contrib import admin
from . import models
# Register your models here.
admin.register(models.DescriptionInfoBox)
admin.register(models.InfoBox)
admin.register(models.ProfileImageBox)
No tables
Or am I doing something wrong?
simple sentinel
It should be admin.site.register(models.DescriptionInfoBox) and etc

hey!
does anyone know how to resolve the WebSocket connection error in Django channels?
(anonymous) @ app.90585323ed6e.js:105
mightThrow @ jquery.js:3762
process @ jquery.js:3830
this is the error
fyi, I've deployed the app on Heroku so no, I don't have an nginx config.
plucky tapir
How would I create migration? Was going to through terminal I am using pycharm, which i believe is running in a virtual environment.
visual lake
How do you use the post-method to login to a website when the html is full of java scripts?
warm igloo
@willow iron Did you see this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50265590/heroku-app-error-during-websocket-handshake-unexpected-response-code-200
warm igloo
damn just noticed the subtle 200 vs 500 too.
Do you get anything in heroku logs on the server side? 500 is internal server error, so you might see more on that side?
willow iron
yep I tried, it the problem lies regarding wss
have a look :
oh wow seems like a new error now
503
:))
warm igloo
Unavailable. Interesting.
surreal whale
I need help with DTL
How would I load in a variable into a static call
for example
And I want to add the "gun"
but I don't know what the file name is
I have this going through a loop which provides information needed (the file name)
"context"
marble carbon
no that's wrong
what's the field which has your image?
i believe it is project.description_image?
@surreal whale
marble carbon
is that what you wanna pass?
well yea
you gotta do project.description_image.url
instead
marble carbon
u knew that lmao
willow iron
this is my app's routing
@willow iron anyone knows what's up w this?
marble carbon
sure
willow iron
willow iron
everything works in dev environment but well, in production, it just fucks w me. the problem is somewhere in wss and ws connections and I've been scratching my head for the past 7 hours :))
marble carbon
hmm does your admin work?
willow iron
ofc yeah
everything works
but chat
chat works too in a sense
the thing is that when i message a user, there's an error in the console which I've noted, it's due to the wss/ws shit and when i reload the page, the messages are right there ( the ones i sent ). so basically, POST works, GET doesn't due to which I'm not able to get the data right then and there
which is actually the whole point of channels and yeah, that just doesn't work in production
marble carbon
oh it's you
willow iron
wdym
marble carbon
nth, i have just seen u post ur project in showcase channel on django server
willow iron
ah okay
this is my first time trying channels in production too btw so yeah, I'm probably making a noobish error that I'm not aware of OR...something else idk
marble carbon
I mean websockets on heroku can be kinda tricky
willow iron
also didn't know until recently that Heroku disables workers by default so had to enable my worker just now, if I hadn't, my response times would've kept deteriorating lol
willow iron
nope
i've got credits
student pack
just gonna exhaust those and move on to digital ocean, once those are exhausted, i'll just switch to aws xD
marble carbon
which version of channels r u using?
marble carbon
and django?
willow iron
3.1.1
marble carbon
use re_path
...
url is deprecated in 3.1 i think
yup
django.conf.urls.url()alias ofdjango.urls.re_path()is deprecated.
willow iron
lol okay but it's not remotely related to the problem
i'll fix it too in the meantime tho

wut lol, I mean u usually serve media and static directory through nginx if not using external storage
willow iron
@marble carbon static is served w nginx, media is generally served w a cdn
cdn like s3
willow iron
aws s3 isn't a cdn but it utilizes those origins
so in a sense, it functions like one

@native tide this is a very weird error that I have seen can be solved by deleting the db
or changing browsers sometimes
i have no idea how it is solved
marble carbon
@willow iron the only thing special about s3 is that
bandwidth costs are quite low
willow iron
yep
native tide
Can anyone solve this problem
Yeh it is weird @versed python and I can't delete the db also
versed python
export it if you need to preserve data, then recreate db from scratch
native tide
Yeh okay I ll try
surreal whale
No
native tide
No when I changed the browser it works perfectly
versed python
@native tide I think this error raised due to incorrect padding in your admin.py
@stable kite can you explain what that means?
How does one fix it?
abstract kite
@versed python it means it does not have proper indentation
@stable kite that doesn't seem right, would incorrent indent be a syntax error?
versed python
afaik it's not an indentation error but some binascii stuff i have no idea about
marble carbon
it's a base64 bug
versed python
yep
abstract kite
@versed python do you also have a similar problem?
marble carbon
even I had it once
versed python
i did
@native tide this is a very weird error that I have seen can be solved by deleting the db
@versed python i solved it using this
abstract kite
maybe be try clearing the session from the original browser?
versed python
ehh that was an old project, don't have any that data now
abstract kite
i'm just speculating here, the session might be storing some incorrect base64 value
versed python
well i did encounter it when using drf
ill see if that happens again and try clearing sessions
abstract kite
maybe be try clearing the session from the original browser?
@native tide can you try this?
abstract kite
For me it's not working @abstract kite
@native tide ah, next thing to try would be to truncate the django_session table
it'd reset all the active sessions
probably raise an issue in github with the relevant trace

Haii this isnt really a python doubt that i have its nore of a javascript doubt is this the right place to ask
Its like this, there is a button, when you click on this button i want to tell javascript to turn this button to a specific color but how do i tell javascript that this is the button you are supposed to change there are 12 more buttons there and i dont want to make a function for each of them.
Im new to prgramming peep im sorry if this is a super simple doubt or whatever, im a noob soo yeah
If your not able to help because its a python server i dont really mind but it would be of great help if i could at least know where i can look for the answer
native tide
You can update the style of the button inside it's onclick event
Its like this, there is a button, when you click on this button i want to tell javascript to turn this button to a specific color but how do i tell javascript that this is the button you are supposed to change there are 12 more buttons there and i dont want to make a function for each of them.
@ornate lotus
You can use the for loop in the DOM
Yeah, have them in a common class and use getElementsByClassName() to loop over all of them
ornate lotus
Ok if i do loop but how will i tell the loop that this is the button im lookin for
native tide
u can always give them an ID and call up on them seperatly
using DOM
as for the color
document.getElementById("button");
let b = document.getElementById("body");
let t = document.getElementById("text");
function myColor {
var i;
for (i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) {
return i;
}
u can simple use something like that
ornate lotus
u can always give them an ID and call up on them seperatly
@native tide ya but i have like 12 buttons and i dont wanna make a function for each
native tide
@ornate lotus It's a function that includes all 12 buttons
ornate lotus
Which?
native tide
Are you good at DOM?
native tide
@ornate lotus Well, are you good at accessing HTML elements with Id and TagName?
native tide
@ornate lotus Well, all buttons can be identified by accessing them with TagName, and only one button can be identified by id
ornate lotus
Ya but that would mean 12 different functions for each button if i use id, and if i use tagname then with one button click all the buttons will change their colour
My obj: when i click the button the button that i clicked should change its colour.
native tide
Ya but that would mean 12 different functions for each button if i use id, and if i use tagname then with one button click all the buttons will change their colour
@ornate lotus
Yeah yes
ornate lotus
But i dont want that to happen ๐

Good Morning, anyone here to help out with some Django? I am in search of a good DatePicker widget that would allow to pick multiple days, not a range but lets say Monday, Thursday, and Friday.
@native tide Have you ever tried using bootstrap? It will simplify your life 10 fold
native tide
I haven't really used bootstrap but since this is a really small project Im not sure id want to use it
devout coral
Oh ok
warm igloo
Don't. Use flexbox.
Nothing to import.
You'll be able to control the alignment and such way easier.
Learning how to use css flexbox and grid is a must for front end dev. So simple, no external dependencies.
devout coral
@warm igloo Do you have experience with Django?
devout coral
Thanks, I was looking at this earlier but it seems it only does date ranges. I might be blind ๐
marble carbon
what do you need?
devout coral
So the user can select multiple days. But not necessarily a range.
Like for example, 9-01-2020, 9-05-2020, 9-07-2020
marble carbon
ohh
devout coral
I currently have a working date range picker, but I need different functionality (the one i described) elsewhere.
marble carbon
I mean it can be done using the front-end itself
without involving Django in it
this for example, does what you want
devout coral
Oh that second one is even better
I guess my googling skills are not as good as I thought lol
I guess you could say I am close

What is the correct http method for a 'like' button? I don't have fb to check what they are using. I know I can't use get, as that wouldn't be safe. Put, but without any payload as I will just be upping a counter by 1?
timid nest
This channel helps with flask, i assume that includes werkzeug?
I'm unable to print the json data received from a POST request
'Request' object has no attribute 'get_json'
Ngrok tells me I am receiving a valid json request
from werkzeug.wrappers import Request, Response
import json
@Request.application
def application(request):
data = request.get_json(force=True)
print(data)
return Response('Data Received')
if __name__ == '__main__':
from werkzeug.serving import run_simple
run_simple('localhost', 5000, application)
So i got it working the only issue is it llikes to cover the input field. I set the orientation to bottom auto and the off set seems to be off. What would be a good way to fix this?
native tide
is there any method to find out the relationship between models...like if my model is related to other model by a foreign key or one-to-one .. so is there any way to get those models from django? (i am asking something like get_related_models() or something...idk if it exists)

Hi, I'm having some trouble trying to render/redirect from form submissions to other form submissions. I am wondering whether django's render function actually calls the appropriate view function that corresponds to the template you want to render even if its not a redirect
willow iron
Hi, I'm having some trouble trying to render/redirect from form submissions to other form submissions. I am wondering whether django's
renderfunction actually calls the appropriate view function that corresponds to the template you want to render even if its not aredirect
@surreal harness seems interesting. Can you describe the issue a bit more with your code?
surreal harness
basically, i have the user sign up with a signup form. they get sent a verification code that they have to confirm, but i don't want them to retype their email. so i render a new form and pass email as part of the context. something like
def signup(request)
form = SignupForm()
...
if form valid:
email = form.get('email')
context['email'] = email
...make the user and send them the confirmation email and all that jazz
form = EnterVerificationCodeForm()
context['form'] = form
return render(request, 'enter_verification_code.html', context)
and then there's another view function for enter_verification_code
def enter_verification_code(request)
if not request.get('email')
...don't access this without the appropriate context
redirect(somewhere else)
else:
form = EnterVerificationCodeForm(request.POST or None)
if form valid:
verification_code = request.get('verification_code')
backend_authenticate(verification_code, request.get('email'))
something like that, if u catch my drift
the behavior i'm getting isn't what is expected though
mostly because i'm trying to avoid just doing something like encoding the email and passing it as a url parameter because i wanted to see if there was another way
and i don't want to store an email in the session because i heard that can be dangerous but those are my fallbacks if I can't get this to work
rather, I want to understand why it isn't working I guess
when you submit the signup form and it is supposed to trigger the rendering of a new form, then you submit that form, i'm not entirely confident that the second form actually gets submitted in the view function i intend it to be submitted in
because when I check my django console output there aren't any debug statements regarding the second form (and my account didn't get confirmed anyway)
willow iron
so essentially you want to have users verify their email they registered with, right?
is that the goal?
surreal harness
basically, i just don't want them to re-enter their email when they verify the code that gets sent to their email
willow iron
okay got it
surreal harness
because then it would arbitrarily allow anyone to brute force a verification code
with a given email
willow iron
I think I've read about it somewhere and there's something that can help you, if that doesn't work either lemme know
surreal harness
is it on the level of django form submission? or general authentication flows?
ok ill read through that and see
ah ok, that uses activation code link, but unfortunately i'm using a code instead of a link
maybe need to think about it more. the key difference here is that they generate a link and send it to the email. that link expires and keeps a key separate. in my flow i'm getting some code from the backend and sending it to them with no link, and just redirecting them to a place where they can enter that code in the front end

this is my first project ever

no one else knows even how to move shit hahaha
acoustic oyster
simplicity is often better than clutter.
You could style the background a bit with some simple colors, maybe make part of the background darker and center the cars? hmmmm, you could add a hero image, but that would probably make it too busy (this is a plug, but here is an example of a hero image https://littlelupine.us/)
honestly, it looks like your site is pretty minimalistic (which is not a bad thing)
So maybe move the cars to the center and see how that feels? you could maybe add a bit of a banner at the top with a title or something, if you want to fill space
cerulean pelican
ooo yea exactly moving the cars to the center
is what i though twould be fitting
should i simply just put margin-top to 50%?
or how else would i go for moving it to the center?
added margin-top to 10%

hi, so i am using flask and i am extending my nav bar to my index.html, but the nav bar css code and the index css code are gettign mixed up, anyway to fix this?
ping me if you have a answer
tawdry magnet
sounds like a jinja2 templating problem
in ur index, just put {% include 'nav.html' %} where it would be
and the nav.html file would contain the html markup. flask will automaticcally just insert the html for the nav into the index (or anywhere where its used)
as for css, just have a single css file that styles absolutely everything. thats simple enough. dont have to worry about if the right css file is loaded or some shit
@ember kayak
you can do that for any chunk of html what will be used accross different pages. you can also do it for ur head. so for example, just do
<head>
{% include 'head.html' %}
</head>
and in ur head.html just put ur linked js, css, and external dependacies and theyll be loaded for each page. example:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css.css">
@tawdry magnet im a bit confused on what you are saying
tawdry magnet
same
ember kayak
wanna see my code?
tawdry magnet
i dont understand the problem
tawdry magnet
one is being open directly in the browser as html the other is served with flask
is there any templating?
there has to be some reason the raw html looks different than what flask servers
oh, or maybe ur problem is its caching
just keep dev tools open and disable cache in the networking tab (just a guess that maybe caching is the problem)
tawdry magnet
wtf does that mean

ok so im trying to make a website where if i fill a certain form and enter a certain word in the search field it runs a python program for me and prints the output in the website how can i achieve that using django?
versed python
@proven orchid You can add an event listener on the search form and check every second if the required word is typed. If it is, fire an ajax function. This ajax function will send a request to a django view which will then run your required python program.
Even though I said ajax, this will be easier in something like Vuejs using event listeners and axios.

so no need of a restful api? or such?
marble carbon
there's an event called keyup
that'll tell u when the user has typed anything, but you'll need to add a check in case user has used backspace, so check the length of the input text
versed python
@proven orchid the django view that the ajax will call will return JsonResponse objects so its kinda an api but i dont think you need django rest framework for such a small task.
proven orchid

Would here be the right place to ask a question receiving a Bad Request (400) error from a Django project that is being hosted on an AWS server running ubuntu, with NGNIX as the webserver and Gunicorn as the middleware?
I can seem to figure out why when accessing the site via IP address, it loads the website correctly, but the IP DNS just sends a Bad Request (400) error.

Hello, I read yesterday that Django is the second web framework more used in github, I learned the basics of Flask (which is in the third position) and I don't know if I should continue with Flask or give a try to Django. Maybe learning the basics, what is your opinion on Django being the second most popular framework?
dawn lark
@slim beacon Should be yeah.
slim beacon
I am assuming its access.log since error.log does not have anything relevant
dawn lark
either or. Should have Gunicorn logs too
slim beacon
The Nginx access.log states the following
14.3.22.240 - - [01/Oct/2020:13:36:20 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 400 154 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:81.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/81.0"

dawn lark
in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf do you have a server defined for the FQDN?
That points to the Gunicorn WSGI that is.
slim beacon
i do not believe so
dawn lark
You will need that..
here is an example of one I have using uWSGI
server_name fqdn.net;
location = / {

A quick question, I have application that will have two seperate users lets say admins, and staff. I want them to be two separate models but have them both be able to authenticate. Could I create a Employee model for example that has basic info that both admins and staff share (like name and so one) and also add the authentication stuff to that class. Then have two separate classes for admins and staff to add their specific things. Or should I make a OneToOne Relationship between the Admin and Employee classes and similarly with staff?

I am using HTML of course, and I am wanting to do a few things.
- When someone redirects to this page, I want to show an
<alert>, then once they click ok, show another and so forth for a few times - I also want to redirect to another page once they are done with those
Is there a way to sanely do this? I am not trying to do anything malicious, just set something up for a friend
ah too late
white tree
the answer to both your questions is javascript.
covert sky
I jsut saw HTML in the description
and I would rather stay with HTML if possible... It just keeps my workflow saner
white tree
right, but thats not an option
unless theres something in html5 which now does alerts or redirects
I honestly wouldnt know haha
covert sky
I am pretty sure there are alerts in HTML

only alerts Im aware of are through JS. alert(string);
I did find this though. https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/html/how-to-redirect-a-web-page-in-html.html

How do I make a Django crispy form mobile reponsive?
white tree
well, Im not familiar with django/crispy - but generally speaking you wanna use the right tool for the right job
and when I think "mobile responsive", I think CSS, not python
I suppose you could do some form of user agent detection and then respond accordingly with perhaps a separate form... but I feel like CSS would be the smarter call.
twilit dagger
My form completely messes up and my footer too when screen size is changed
That blue bar is my footer
twilit dagger
Basically the height of the Django form doesn't change along with it's parent div
white tree
imo - the answer lies in CSS.
without being able to examine the dom first hand - it looks like your form isnt a child of the container

Or likely an unclosed container div/etc

I want to simulate an AJAX call to the database in Django using the contents of a JSON file. Does anyone know what the best place to put this JSON file would be? templates or static don't really seem to make much sense, but neither does putting it in the same directory as the views.py file that will be opening the JSON file. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but if someone knows the best way to do this, please let me know.

what do you mean using the contents of a json file?
do you want to use json as a database?
topaz widget
@native tide No, I'm using a JSON file to simulate a database for the time being while I work on the front-end design. I don't want to make database models at this point. It's just a way to make sure the front-end is working properly.
topaz widget
I got it to work, but I'm not sure it's the best way. I just put the JSON file in the same directory as my views.py file that calls it. I use os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), json_file.json) to access the JSON file.

@topaz widget Canโt wait to try that in the morning thanks

@plucky tapir You can also use python manage.py dbshell which will drop you into the database itself and you can execute SQL queries.

Sounds good. I had done an sql command to get into it earlier. And it had not worked so well. A question real quick I should always be using a virtual environment in django? Does it pick up from where I left off when I leave or rebuilds new every time after deactivating?

does anyone know how to use transitions correctly in css
i know this is a python server, but i need help
versed python
@plucky tapir Idk what you mean by rebuilding, this isn't node. But yeah, the best practise for ANY python project is to use a virtual environment, but this is for a different reason, not anything to do with rebuilding.
lethal orbit
If you deactivate in your virtual env, it does not get deleted and you don't need to "rebuild" it, if I understand the question correctly.
Just call . venv/bin/activate (or source venv/bin/activate, which is equivalent), and you will get back to the same venv with the same packages installed, same interpreter, etc.
marble carbon
rebuild sounds like an npm thing idk
marble carbon
yea that as well
lethal orbit
If you rebuild a docker container, for instance, you may reinstall all the dependencies. Likewise, they may have meant recreating a virtual environment when they said "rebuilding."
marble carbon
oh right, in terms of Docker that makes more sense
trail axle
can web apps (not website) be written with Python through the backend? I canโt seem to find much.
quick cargo
@trail axle python can only be used for backend yes
trail axle
yeah I know that, but web apps specifically?
lethal orbit
Instagram was originally built in python/django, so of course.
Python is a great back-end language.
trail axle
ah so webapps are part of backend
lethal orbit
Web apps run on the web, so they need a front-end...
The vast majority also use a back-end.
trail axle
would they need JS?
lethal orbit
Preferably
Depends what you have in mind. There is no one definition for a web app
But typically, they use: HTML/CSS/JavaScript on the front-end. Often with a JS framework/library (react is very popular, but I recommend Vue, which is simpler and more elegant IMO).
A back-end. That can be written in just about any language, but Django (python) is great for speed of development.
A database (postgresql is very popular with Django. You can also use NoSQL, like mongodb, but not really with Django. Maybe with Node/Express, which is Javascript-based, or Flask, or other options)
And a front-end <---> back-end connection, using REST of GraphQL
marble carbon
Hell yeah Vue FTW

do Django and Google App Engine do around the same thing?

trail axle
k thanks
vestal hound
do Django and Google App Engine do around the same thing?
Django probably does more, but for web apps.
@trail axle no, they're different things
Django is a backend framework i.e. software that runs on a server that handles incoming HTTP requests by returning HTTP responses.
Google App Engine is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering that lets you host applications
so you could host Django on Google App Engine

How could I get the data of my current view in a string format and save it?
I want to somehow set the data from my view into a cache value manually
Does anyone have experience witht hat in django?

Sounds like something you could do in middleware easily enough. Maybe using the Cache framework, too.
limber laurel
I do
but there is a problem with constructing the key when I want to delete it so I somehow need to I guess contr5ol setting the cache manually @lethal orbit
As I try to get the key when I edit a specific model
And I dont have access to the real request
So page_cache doesnt seem to do the trick
That is unless I construct the key and save it in a database together with for example the username when I send a GET request to the cached form, what do you think about that? @lethal orbit
So then I could access that key name and delete a key with that name
Oh and sorry for pinging you twice
lethal orbit
Not sure why you would need to save the key in a DB?
Just get the key from a function.
Can't you use the model's pk?
limber laurel
I want to save the key in the DB so I can access the cache key
as I cant use get_cache_key in the model function

What do you guys suggest in hosting your django project, on your own, through port forward, just use a service? Project is still in development. What did you guys do initially for yourselves?
tepid lark
$5 DO server
or Docker image on your server of choice
Makes local testing extremely easy
topaz widget
@plucky tapir Using a hosting service will probably give you the best service for the lowest price. It's probably cheaper than the electricity used to keep a home server running with port forwarding and better than what you will probably be running it on, too.
I personally use Linode, which, for my small website is $5 / month. They usually have some promotions, too, so you might be able to get a few months free like I did when I first joined.
I don't know whether it's better than something like AWS or Digital Ocean, but I haven't really had any problems with it yet.
My server is about 2,000 miles away from where I live, but I can just access it from my local command line using ssh like it's on my computer.

This is the better method if you're not doing any special stuff in the __init__ method. @solar ridge

Thanks @versed python I'll give this a try. It definitely overrides the type attribute? On the road right now

Hello, I am having a small issue I am trying to fix in this code
I would really appreciate anyone's help
I am trying to get the about section to float, but it should be at the top on the right, in alignment with the first blogpost
whenever I float the about section, it just doesn't go to the top
if anyone got a solution, I'd appreciate it very much, thanks

@sage wadi can you let me know what line, what position do I got fixed? I am just learning CSS and HTML this semester so got to be a little more detailed with me
sage wadi
In about css
.about
Then take the about container up in the html markup until its where u want it
white spruce
@sage wadi so now I moved the container and got that fixed, appreciate the help with that
sage wadi
๐
Then remove the fixed position
Just use a basic table or grid if youre familiar
Give the columns width in %
white spruce
we can't use table, teacher said grid only
sage wadi
Grid then
white spruce
so am I not using grid though?
also what do I got fixed? are you talking about the container?
sage wadi
Im no grid expert though.
Use https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_grid.asp
To play and get what you need. Only after it sits ok add your contenr
sage wadi
Remove position: fixed from about
Use the try it
And fiddle with it
You need to first set the cols and then their inner content
white spruce
that's actually what I did, but as I follow the requirements and try to add different stuff, that's when stuff start to get out of place
are you talking about the width? in about?
sage wadi
Nah. I meant remove what i told you to add at the begining
sage wadi
You probly didnt add it. Nevermind
white spruce
yeah probably I didn't. I am kinda also thinking about starting from scratch but that's too much at this point
I only got 1 issue now
getting the social media and archives aligned with the about
got that done now finally ๐
now I need to get the greyed about area off the header, anything for that @still palm?

I m trying to build something like Youtube using Django .Can anyone tell how to implement this,efficiently?
The application should enable the admin to upload videos using an array of options such as a YouTube link, Amazon S3 bucket, normal uploads, and a website link.
Website should be highly scalable that is it should handle unlimited users, videos, and categories.
What database to use to make it highly scalable in Django?
haughty turtle
@fallen mango Django itself recommends PostgreSQL for scalability.
marble carbon
there's Cloudinary
if you're looking for free stuff
for demo
and an easy option
haughty turtle
But is Cloudinary scalable
marble carbon
you gotta pay more
there's Mux too
I mean Cloudinary is definitely more scalable than managing uploads yourself
haughty turtle
@fallen mango I would think you would want to know where these normal uploads would be stored.
marble carbon
Amazon S3 bucket is recommended as well, but it offers no transformations and all
haughty turtle
In his statement he is obligated to have option for youtube, S3 bucket and normal uploads.
fallen mango
whaatttt,seriously
marble carbon
yeahh...
fallen mango
marble carbon
they don't charge u, it's just to prevent spam
fallen mango
ohk,i'll see to it
marble carbon
Cloudinary requires no card tho
fallen mango
ohh, thanks for suggestion
marble carbon
there a django package for easy integration with it as well
fallen mango
Great

unlimited videos lol
haughty turtle
Hmm unlimited sounds a little far fetched
muted stump
flask or django??
vapid minnow
In my view, Django is good if you're going to generate HTML on the back-end. If you want an API + some modern JS front-end, go with FastAPI ) @muted stump
haughty turtle
you can get modern JS with Dango o.o
What are the community thoughts on FastAPI vs Django
strange briar
hey guys
i'd like to have your opinion about something
i'm currently learning new frameworks and it demotivates me to be honest, the list is too long, i would like to make one "entreprise-level" project by implementing it CI/CD and make it very performant so i chose a set of technologies but now that i have to learn all of this it demotivates me, i came from django and only did a bit of flask and now i decided to go for fastapi, so for the db i have to learn also the difference in terms of syntax between django orm and sqlalchemy, i wanted to make the async request to the db so i could use all the power of fastapi so then i have to learn about encode/databases, and it keeps going like that, because i have only small or no knowledges in a wide variety of tools and frameworks it actually frustrates me a lot to not work on my project and just spend my time reading and testing stuffs to learn
is this the wrong approach ? Should i give up on all of this and just do my project and maybe pick up only one new tool ?
lethal orbit
If you have experience with Django, you can definitely stick with it.
It already has async support, async views, and it's getting an async ORM in 3.2
It is also mature, well tested, and well adopted by the industry.
I wouldn't worry about async that much. Depending on the job, you may not work on new projects, but maintain legacy services too.
haughty turtle
Why are you switching frameworks mid way...
I imagine Django will make sure to catch up to FastAPI speeds if it is still faster, Django is much more organized from what I have read.
sudden grail
Hey guys, can i get some responses, what kinda project/task management tools do you guys use?

sudden grail
@marble carbon do you use it individually?

sudden grail
