Commands starting with # must be run as root user.

Commands starting with $ must be run as ponyconf user.

PonyConf has been tested with python 3.5 and 3.6.

Create a user ponyconf:

# useradd -r -m -d /srv/www/ponyconf ponyconf

The directory /srv/www must exist before. An other base directory is fine.

The following commands are run as ponyconf user:

# su - ponyconf

Create log and webdir directories:

$ mkdir log webdir

Clone the repository in the app directory:

$ git clone https://git.afpy.org/AFPy/PonyConf.git app

Copy the example configuration file:

$ cp app/ponyconf/local_settings.py.example app/ponyconf/local_settings.py

Set the SECRET_KEY value. You can generate a secret key with openssl:

$ openssl rand -base64 32

Verify emails related settings values. Set your timezone and language code.

If you want to use another database than the default one (SQLite), set DATABASES. You can find the syntax in the django documentation.
