Waggle Manager

Device Management Studio for Beehive v2

Right now, this is a proof of concept: it has the database design codified in a Django app so that we have a simple way to write up tests to prove the design.

It's also a decent enough platform to design applications on top of, so assuming this works out we can just roll with it.

Development

Pipenv for dependency management

Why? Because packaging and dependency management is broken beyond belief in the Python world, and this injects so sanity and standards.

Here's a super quick run through:

• pipenv install to install the runtime deps in the Pipfile
• pipenv install --dev to install the development deps in the Pipfile
• pipenv install <package name> to install a runtime app dependency
• pipenv install --dev <package name> to install a dev dependency
• pipenv shell to wrap your shell in the python virtualenv
• pipenv run <command> to wrap your command with the virtualenv

Running the database

This requires PostGIS to run. The easiest way to get that up and running (and configured for the app) is using Docker:

$ docker pull mdillon/postgis
$ docker run -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_DB=waggle_manager mdillon/postgis

You'll then need to run the migrations:

$ pipenv run python manage.py migrate

Runing the development server

Once you've stood up your database, you can run the dev server with:

$ pipenv run python manage.py runserver

If you haven't created a superuser yet, you can do that with:

$ pipenv run python manage.py createsuperuser

As of now, all we have is the built in admin site: http://localhost:8000/admin .

Running the tests

You guessed it:

$ pipenv run python manage.py test
