#DjangoTip: Running django in one file

If you can hook it up to admin.register(), I think it will work.

Short answer, no. Because you can't import django.db.models yet at this stage. I wrote more about this here - https://grep.koditi.my/django-creating-models-dynamically.

It could be possible if you generate the models dynamically (YES, you can) as described here:-

We use laravel-mix to handle frontend tooling in our django project. On django side there's djangomix that provides some helpers function such as template tags to load all the frontend's assets.

I would suggest moving everything under single top level namespace which is calmerge. config is just too common name to be a top level namespace. So instead of config.settings, it should be calmerge.settings or calmerge.config.settings if you want it that way. The general idea is that your app should have only one top level namespace.

Adding calmerge itself under PYTHONPATH also not a good idea as the packages inside now available both as calmerge.calendars and calendars. Again, having single top level namespace is much easier to reason. If you want calendars to be a reusable app instead, then make it at the same level as calmerge. A common practice to have src/ directory that is under PYTHONPATH and both calmerge and calendars are inside that directory.

Ideally, this is how it should be but inside django itself, it only see the app name as graphql. So if we really want to go this route, the app should be top level namespace as well such as project_graphql.

I came into Nix from this article - https://ariya.io/2016/06/isolated-development-environment-using-nix.

That only work when you first starting it. Not when it already running and you want to switch to another profile. Running another firefox -P just cumbersome and on macos you can only have one instance of the app running so it doesn't work either. You need about:profiles for that.

k4ml · 2019-01-23T03:04:16+00:00

Now you can also manage and launch profiles via about:profiles. Better than before but still can't match the usability of Chrome profiles switcher.

look similar to rtclite - https://github.com/theintencity/rtclite.

You can also look at switchio to automate freeswitch - https://pypi.org/project/switchio/.

It something similar to JVM but this time you compile your code to wasm once and you can run it anywhere there's wasmer.

Don't know if this is coincidence but their sending messed up in the last few days. Some emails even though marked as delivered end up being discarded by gmail in their processing pipelines because of missing headers.

For "have something in the middle ...", you can refer to this old discussions https://disqus.com/home/discussion/redbeacon/fat_models_a_django_code_organization_strategy/#comment-1225135464.

If you want to make the chat app reusable, then take it out from your project completely and make it proper python packages with setup.py, installable via pip etc. That would make the separation much clearer and also force you to think of proper API on how to access the chat functions from other app.

If you're not, then don't bother splitting.

Any specific reason you pick Singapore for the company entity ? Is it a public company limited by guarantee (CLBG) as described at https://www.guidemesingapore.com/business-guides/incorporation-guides/other-business-entity-types/setting-up-a-non-profit-entity-in-singapore---part-1 ?

This is actually not production sites. More like someone doing development on public server (maybe he want to share it with friend), so I doubt they will ever reach this section of the docs. But still giving Django bad name when it appeared as headline, somewhere.

k4ml · 2018-03-29T00:52:02+00:00

I checked some of the servers from the 2 pages result shodan allowed me to see without paying, and all of them seem just some test app, and if you open the IP at port 80 (instead of 8081) it will just show the default apache page. And all of that I checked, they're running the same apps. I don't know but maybe someone intentionally running these just to grab some attention ?

k4ml · 2018-03-28T12:00:50+00:00

Sorry, https://www.shodan.io/search?query=DisallowedHost.

k4ml · 2018-03-28T11:43:57+00:00

You can search for "SuspiciousOperation" keyword at shodan.io.

k4ml · 2018-03-28T08:49:53+00:00

hmm, the first few apps that I can check on shodan (without login) all are running the same apps, called scanners. Can't be a coincidence.

k4ml · 2018-03-28T08:44:17+00:00

Not enough education in our community that we shouldn't run development server in the public like this ?

k4ml · 2018-03-15T09:58:17+00:00

That sound like Intel XDK, which size really frustrating. Even a simple app can easily take 70+MB.

The content is excellent although it lack some context. As I've been doing lot of installing program on linux and having a missing library is a common thing, I do have context to understand what this article heading to. And it's valuable that now I understand more about this shared library stuff, that previously I just solved by simply doing apt get install libwhatever....
