A Django website that provides pull notifications to subscribers (such as Android or iOS apps). Apps can query messages based on their version.

Requirements

• Python 3

Hacking

This project uses a virtual environment, activate it with this command:

source .venv/bin/activate

To install all the project's development dependencies:

pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

To set up the database and load initial data run:

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py loaddata notifications/fixtures/initial_data.json

To set up a (super) user for the admin interface:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Afterwards, you should have a fully functional instance at

http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Since there is no real browseable web interface, you'll be redirected to the admin interface right away. The REST API is accessible at

http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1?format=json

Makes use of two additional Django modules:

./scripts/docker/build
./scripts/docker/run
