1. Getting Started
2. Setting up Postgres

• Create a new repository using this repo as a template
• Create and Activate the virtual env

    python -m venv env && source env/bin/activate

• Install the development dependencies

    pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

• Configure Pre-commit (Optional)

    pre-commit install && pre-commit run --all-files

• Setup localhost as the db host in settings.py

• Cd into api folder

    cd api

• Apply the migrations

    python manage.py migrate

• Run the development server

    python manage.py runserver

• Navigate to http://localhost:8000 to view the OpenAPI swagger docs
• Happy hacking!

To set up PostgreSQL on a Linux system, you will need to do the following steps:

Install the PostgreSQL package:

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

Start the PostgreSQL service:

sudo service postgresql start

Log in to the PostgreSQL command-line interface as the postgres user:

sudo -u postgres psql

Create a new database and user:

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;

CREATE USER myuser WITH PASSWORD 'mypassword';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mydatabase TO myuser;

Note: Dont use the username user as it will conflict with the command

Exit the PostgreSQL command-line interface:

\q

Update the Django settings to use the new database:

# settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'mydatabase',
        'USER': 'myuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'mypassword',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

By following these steps, you should be able to set up PostgreSQL on your Linux system and use it with Django.
