API access to user's Google data stored in user's Django profile
I'm trying to build a Django where each user has their own profile page. In their profile page, a user can choose to share Google Postmaster data with my website (see https://developers.google.com/gmail/postmaster/reference/rest). Their choice then gets stored in their profile page. I have been playing around with social-auth-app-django but this does not seem able to only function as an extension (with api access) to an existing django profile - it only seems intended to replace the django profile with a social profile. Does anyone have an idea of how to approach this problem? I guess i'm not looking for exact code, but mainly for some steps and perhaps references to tools that are more fitting for my purpose than social-auth-app-django. Thank you, Jon -
Website without https displays file browser
If I visit my website with https:// it works just fine. However, I noticed if I click on the link I put on Github which doesn't have https:// I am taken to a page that says the following: Index of /  Name Last modified Size Description Apache/2.4.38 (Debian) Server at example.com Port 80 I noticed this is an empty directory which I suspected might be /var/www/html so I added a file to it and confirmed this is showing me /var/www/html. This is strange because I have my Django app under /srv -
Ensure field is unique for another field in Django Models
I want a field in a model to be unique based on another field, but not vice versa. For example: class Shipment(models.Model): supplier = models.ForeignKey("Supplier", on_delete=models.PROTECT, related_name='shipments') external_id = models.CharField(max_length=128) I want that two shipments cannot have same supplier and same external_id, but can have same external_id and different supplier, or same supplier and different external_id. I know unique_together. But it makes a supplier to only have one external_id. However, I want a supplier to have multiple external_ids while all of them are unique. I can check this constraint in save() method, but I want a database constraint, or something wiser. -
formset in django gives extra forms rather than specified?
forms.py class PermissionForm(forms.Form): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.user = kwargs.pop('user') super(PermissionForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) roles = forms.Emailfield() views.py def privileges(request): user=request.user count = 4 PermissionFormSet = formset_factory(PermissionForm, extra=count)) inti = [{'roles':'123@gmail.com'},{'roles':'abc@gmail.com'}] forms = PermissionFormSet(form_kwargs={'user':user}, initial=[x for x in inti]) print(len(forms)) I need to create multiple instance of same form,for that I am using formset.I specified extra=2 and I need to pass different initials for different form instances.So practically,it should give me 2 forms but rather it gives 4 forms.Why? -

How can implement YouTube auto quality functionality in Reactjs webapp
I want to implement Youtube like auto quality functionality in my web app. I want to break the videos into chunks and deliver it over HTTPS according to the bandwidth of the user like Youtube. I have searched for it and the terms that I encountered are HLS,MPEG-DASH,ffmpeg.What are the ways in which this can be achieved? For example, I found that Video.js can be used to deliver hls but I don't know how to create a .m3u8 file. Also, my backend is made using Django so I can configure my backend too.But here also I don't know how to use ffmpeg. Can I do it with Nginx or apache server? I don't require anything related to the configuration(although it would be helpful if you can provide some).I know the answer can be lengthy but just provide me the path that I can follow to achieve it and not the implementation. The resources that I found relevant to my case are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8ebB9Pxb2s https://stackoverflow.com/a/41289535/11559079 videojs: Download/stream video in chunks with quality selecton -
Django creating models for multiple stock instruments
I am working on a stock market app for which I am creating models in django Here is an Instrument model class Instrument(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) symbol = models.CharField(max_length=10) description = models.TextField() exchange = models.ForeignKey(Exchange, on_delete=models.CASCADE) ltp = models.FloatField() ltp_pre = models.FloatField() Now there are total 5000 instruments and each instrument will have ohlc (open, high, low, close) data. Since ohlc data count are large (> 10^7) I decided to create separate table for each instrument, but now in djnago I have to create 5000 models. class Instrument1(models.Model): timestamp = models.DateTimeField(primary_key=True) open = models.FloatField() high = models.FloatField() low = models.FloatField() close = models.FloatField() volume = models.IntegerField() Is there any other way to do it. Also open to the idea of using different databse. -

Nginx server returns 404 when refreshing my Django-React-Docker Application
I dockerized my react-django application. The react code is being turned into a static folder and that folder is being served by a nginx server. Everything is working perfectly except for when I reload the page. If I reload the page, I am shown an 404 page. Also, react is not displaying the 404 page when something goes wrong. I am guessing it has something to do with my server configuration. default.config server { listen 80; location / { proxy_pass http://frontend:3000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name; } location /api { proxy_pass http://backend:8000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name; } location /admin { proxy_pass http://backend:8000/admin; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name; } location /nginx-health-check { access_log off; return 200; } } My docker-compose version: "3" services: backend: build: context: ./backend dockerfile: Dockerfile ports: - 8000:8000 volumes: - ./backend:/app - ./backend/media:/app/media - ./backend/static:/app/static frontend: build: context: ./frontend dockerfile: Dockerfile-prod ports: - 3000:80 volumes: - ./frontend/src:/app/src nginx: build: context: ./nginx dockerfile: Dockerfile ports: - 80:80 I got this code from this repo: https://github.com/kasper190/django_k8s/tree/master/code -
Django STATIC FILES location CONFUSION
I've been learning Django for a while now, but the static files topic makes me doubt about WHERE and HOW they should be placed and it's configuration in settings.py. Lets say I start a Django project called "WEBSITE" and create an app called "BLOG". From what I've seen and read, people use 2 different "ways" to place/save their static files (css, images, javascript) and templates. Method #1 (the asterix means "Directory" and dash means its a "file"): In my base.html template I use: {% load static %} <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}" type="text/css"> And on the other templates I used: {% extends 'BLOG/base.html'%} {% load static %} Here is my file structure from what I have read in the documentation: *WEBSITE *BLOG *Migrations *static *BLOG *images -image_01.png -image_02.png *css -style.css *js *templates *BLOG -base.html -index.html -contact.html -about.html -__init__.py -admin.py -apps.py -forms.py -models.py -tests.py -urls.py -views.py *WEBSITE -__init__.py -asgi.py -settings.py -urls.py -wsgi.py -db.sqlite3 -manage.py In the setting.py app, theres only: STATIC_URL = '/static/' and it loads the images and css just fine...

GeoDjango: Getting accurate device location with geoip2
I am trying to get the users device location. But the geoip2 returns a location far away from users location (almost 20km-25km). When I connect my device through a mobile network it shows a different location when I connect my device with the wifi First I am getting the users ip def get_ip(request): xff = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR') if xff: ip = xff.split(',')[0] else: ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR', None) return ip But this gets the users private ip and the private ip is not in the country or city datasets so the geoip2 throws an error. So I try to get the public ip address through a website def get_ip(request): from requests import get ip = get('https://api.ipify.org').text if ip: return ip Now i use geoip2 to get the users location data def home(request,): .... .... .... .... from django.contrib.gis.geoip2 import GeoIP2 g = GeoIP2() ip = get_ip(request) print(ip) country = g.country(ip) city = g.city(ip) print(country, city) lat, long = g.lat_lon(ip) print(lat, long) ... ... ...
