start gunicorn when docker-compose is not in same folder
I am attempting to build an environment, using Docker, Django, gunicorn, postgres and nginx. In this environment Dockerfile and docker-compose sits one level above src folder My idea of folder structure is as follows: "NN Project" folder within my "Documents/repositories" └── / config (to place nginx settings within) └── / deployment (to place environment "secrets" within) └── / src (the Django project) ├── Dockerfile ├── docker-compose ├── license, readme ... ├── build_script.sh The reason I want to put Dockerfile and docker-compose at top-level and not under the sub-folder /src is because I want the ability to access env "secrets" when working in a container with Django and its relative import NON_VERSION_PATH = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent.parent with open(NON_VERSION_PATH / 'deployment/etc/application/.env_vars', 'r') as f: secrets = json.loads(f.read()) Problem I have is that I cannot get web (the "src" container) to start (it cannot find it). However, it works fine if I place Dockerfile and docker-compose within the /src folder but I would like to have the docker-compose one level up. I understand it is about relative import, however, I cannot figure out how to tell it to look in ./code my docker-compose looks like: version: "3.9" services: db: container_name: db image: postgres:alpine restart: always … -

How to catch a Django "GET" event in template using jquery?
In my Django project, I have a pdf download button that generates a report. When I push the button I would like a modal showing that the report is being processed. When the pdf is downloaded, I would like the modal to hide automatically. However, I am having some trouble with the last part. I know that Django sends a "GET" message in the backend, when the report is downloaded ("GET /download/140/...") How can I "catch" the ("GET /download/140/...") event in my template? Code: <a href="{% url 'report-download' object.id %}" class="btn btn-grey" id="pdf-button"></a> Show "processing" modal when download is initiated... <script type="text/javascript"> $("#pdf-button").on("click", function(){ $('#myPDFModal').modal('show'); }); </script> Attempt: Close "processing" modal when download is finished using Ajax... <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).on('click', '#pdf-button', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); $.ajax({ url: '{% url 'report-download' object.id %}', type: 'GET', }).done(function(result) { $('#myPDFModal').modal('hide'); }); }); </script> The above code seems to work at showing/hiding the modal at the right "GET" event, but the pdf is not downloaded.. -

How to fix django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "some_object" does not exist? I saw lots of topic on this platform to related this error, but won't able to fix it in my case. In my case means, I am working on django and I have the postgresql database and It's working well but whenever I took pull request from git(where other person is working) and run the migration then I am getting this error. below is some links that I had tried https://stackoverflow.com/a/33055243/11360069 I just try but not working https://stackoverflow.com/a/46697898/11360069 ./manage.py migrate --fake default https://stackoverflow.com/a/29672770/11360069 python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb and python manage.py migrate --fake appname python manage.py migrate --fake, python manage.py migrate --fake--initial, python manage.py migrate Only one way is working for me when I had create a new database and applying migration.

django {% inlcude %} throws Template Error
The problem: I have a file base.html, where I have a {% block content %}, for the page's content and a {% inlcude %}, for the navigation bar (bootstrap) of the base template.

Storing dynamic data in django
So, in my application I currently am receiving and storing some data,the structure currently is based around this: Each application has a number of devices Each device has incoming data from its sensors Each sensor has a type (e.g. temperature/humidity/etc) Initially, I had wanted to find a solution to store the data dynamically into one table for all data, with a model that might look like this: time = models.DateTimeField() sensor = models.ForeignKey(Sensor, on_delete=models.CASCADE) data = ??? Now, each sensor is connected in the models to all the details (including the application, the sensor hardware information and other API-related information for connecting to said sensors), however, for the data I looked up a number of options but I have yet to find one that feels sufficient, some of the options I explored are: Storing the data in a dictionary and storing that in a model as per the answers in Here Having separate tables and somehow calling the models later when storing data using the method here, in addition to some system with inheritance such as discussed here Something similar to this using dynamic fields I am currently using mySQL, and I saw some other solutions that might work using … -

Subtracting two quantities value from two different class model in Django
I am trying to do a subtraction after complete the payment. I have 2 models, the Item and the Order with 2 different quantities. I tried the function below to process it but it remains the same quantity. The function works fine, but the only problem is the quantity. I've tried 2 approaches for the said problem, but both are not working.

How to annotate only some rows
I have a data model which simplifies to following simple parent-child relationship (in reality there are couple of intermediate tables, and it is greatgrandparent-child relationship, but lets keep things simple): parent: parent_id: int parent_data: int important: bool child: child_id: int parent_id: int child_data: int Now i want get aggregated data (using Sum for simplicity here) per parent. Which could be done as: Parent.objects.values('parent_id', 'parent_data').annotate(Sum('children__child_data')) However due to high number of rows I would like to query this aggregated result only for the important parent (and for the rest only query the parent_data). There are some workarounds there. For example I can use two queries (where I filter only the important parents for one query and unimportant parents for the other) and use the annotate only on the first one. Then I can process the queries and combine them later in python -- however this feels clunky and also messes up the ordering. Is there an elegant way of doing this in single go? Essentially I want equivalent of raw SQL: SELECT "parent"."parent_id", "parent"."parent_data", SUM("child"."child_data") FROM "parent" LEFT OUTER JOIN "child" ON ("parent"."parent_id" = "child"."child_id" AND "parent"."important") GROUP BY "parent"."parent_id" -
How can I change the SQL database driver in Django from mysqlclient to PyMySQL?
For working with SQL database Django required/recommends mysqlclient. However I'd like to use PyMySQL as SQL driver instead of mysqlclient. I'm using django-environ to load config into django.

django - filtering via ManyToMany field
Let's say I have models like this: class Pizza(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Topping(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Flavor(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) of_topping = models.ForeignKey(Topping, on_delete=models.CASCADE) on_pizzas = models.ManyToManyField(Pizza) Then, I have topping "Salami" with flavors "spicy", "non-spicy" and "italian", a topping "Fungus" with flavors "Champignon", "Boletus" and "Fly agaric". A pizza is constrained such that it cannot contain two toppings of the same Topping class but with different flavors. (e.g. there is no Pizza with both italian and spicy salami). Now, let's say my pizzaria offers those pizzas: Margherita (no toppings) Salami (non-spicy salami) Funghi (Champignon) Yummy (italian salami and Champignon) Toxic (spicy salami and fly agaric) Special (italian salami and Boletus) Now, for a customer Bob, I know is constraints, e.g. he would eat Champignon and italian salami (but would also eat anything that has only a subset of those as toppings). For Bob, I would no like to find out, that I could offer him Margherita, Funghi or Yummy. For each customer, the list of constraints will only include (at most) one flavor per topping. So there would be no customer who says that she likes both spicy and non-spicy salami. How do I write a filter … -
