Django User Database Template

A Django project template that has a working user system with django-rest-auth and allauth

Using the template

The template is fully functional as is.

However if you wanted to change the project name from myproject to something else, you'll have to tweak a few things first:

Project directory

Change myproject directory to whatever you like (e.g. yourproject)

Manage, ASGI, and WSGI files

In ./yourproject/manage.py, ./yourproject/asgi.py, and ./yourproject/wsgi.py, change

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproject.settings')

to

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'yourproject.settings')

Settings

In ./yourproject/settings.py, change

ROOT_URLCONF = 'myproject.urls'

...

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'myproject.wsgi.application'

to

ROOT_URLCONF = 'yourproject.urls'

...

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'yourproject.wsgi.application'

Database name (technically optional)

If you want to use a different database name than myproject, change your database settings from

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'myproject',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD': 'root',
        'HOST': os.environ.get('POSTGRES_HOST', 'localhost'),
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

to

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'yourproject',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD': 'root',
        'HOST': os.environ.get('POSTGRES_HOST', 'localhost'),
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}
