COCTALES WEB APP

Search, discover, and connect with fellow cocktail lovers through my social cocktail app.

The app offers this functionality

Social sharing

Allow users to share their experiences and content on this media platform through cocktale rooms, which can help promote your app and increase user engagement.

User profile

Allow users to create profiles that showcase their favorite cocktails, bars, and reviews. Users can follow each other and connect with like-minded cocktail enthusiasts.

Deploying on EC2

Setup

Update the System

sudo apt-get update

To get this repository, run the following command inside your git enabled terminal

git clone https://github.com/salawekesa/COCKTALES-app.git

You will need django to be installed in you computer to run this app. Head over to https://www.djangoproject.com/download/ for the download guide

Download django usig pip

sudo apt install python3-pip -y

pip install django

Once you have downloaded django, go to the cloned repo directory and run the following command

python3 manage.py makemigrations

This will create all the migrations file (database migrations) required to run this App.

Now, to apply this migrations run the following command

python3 manage.py migrate

One last step and then our COCKTALE App will be live. We need to create an admin user to run this App. On the terminal, type the following command and provide username, password and email for the admin user

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

That was pretty simple, right? Now let's make the App live. We just need to start the server now and then we can start using our simple COCKTALE App. Start the server by following command

python3 manage.py runserver

Once the server is hosted, head over to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ for the App.

Cheers and Happy Coding :)
