Board game multi-player server using Django Channels
I have some experience in building web applications with Django, and now I'm trying to create a multiplayer server where users will be able to play board games (checkers, reversi, etc.). I've heard that Django Channels is suitable for this task. Can someone point me in the right direction (with ideas, advises, information, examples) how should I implement it? I found only multi-user chat example, but it's a very small part of the whole project. -
django-tenant: cannot find location of temporary file upload
I am running a multi-tenant app with nginx and gunicorn and when uploading small files (<2.5mo) everything works well, however when files gets bigger, I get a 502 bad gateway from nginx. From Where does django store temporary upload files?, I found it that small and big files are not handled the same way by django. The underlying issue is that nginx 'client_max_body_size' parameter is not pointing toward the temporary upload folder for the tenants. Here is what my setup looks like django.settings.py TENANT_MODEL = "customers.Client" TENANT_DOMAIN_MODEL = "customers.Domain" DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "django_tenants.files.storage.TenantFileSystemStorage" MULTITENANT_RELATIVE_MEDIA_ROOT = "tenants/%s" upload forms.py class ETL(forms.Form): Historical = forms.FileField() Pre_processing = forms.FileField() Supplier = forms.FileField() parameters = forms.FileField() views.py @method_decorator(login_required, name='dispatch') class Getfiles(LoginRequiredMixin,FormView): template_name = 'upload.html' form_class = ETL success_url = 'dash.html' def form_valid(self, form): url = self.request.build_absolute_uri() form.process_data(url) return super().form_valid(form) and nginx/sites-enabled/django.conf: server { server_name mysite; listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite/fullchain.pem; # managed$ ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/mysite/privkey.pem; # manag$ include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot location /static/ { autoindex on; alias /home/ubuntu/mysite/static/; } location / { client_max_body_size 20M; include proxy_params; proxy_pass http://unix:/home/ubuntu/mysite/app.sock; } I have seen there Django+gunicorn+nginx upload large file 502 error that I should provide the … -
Why docker allows removal of other people's containers/images?
So I am new to docker. I have created my own container and image for a Django app to try out. When I use this command in ubuntu, I can see a list of containers and images docker ps -a and this command to delete a container docker rm -f <container_id> What puzzles me is that it is possible for me to delete containers and images created by someone else (of course I tried it on "hello-world" projects only). Why is this allowed? What happen to real production containers/images? -
How can I access a Django returned json object in javascript / on the client-side?
I'm having hard times to find a way to use my Django returned data on the clientside. I think I mix up several concepts here. This is my view that calls the model StocksPrice and returns all data in the table column stockName: def getStocksAvailable(request, *args, **kwargs): StocksAvailable = serializers.serialize('json', StocksPrice.objects.values(stockName)) return HttpResponse({"data": StocksAvailable}) and according Javascript part for testing purposes: var received_data = "{{ StocksAvailable }}" console.log(received_data); # Outputs: {{ StocksAvailable }} I also tried it using render in the view: def getStocksAvailable(request, *args, **kwargs): StocksAvailable = serializers.serialize('json', StocksPrice.objects.values(stockName)) return render({"data": StocksAvailable}) Why does JS logs it as a string whereas it is supposed to be a variable containing the returned json object? And how could I basically print the returned data from the view for debugging (maybe s.th. is wrong with the json itself)? -
How to choose a specific object from a many to many field relationship inside a template in django
I am passing in a bunch of Project objects into my template as the variable 'projects'. Then I loop over each of them like this: {% for project in projects %} <div class="conflict"> <h2>{{ project.title }}</h2> <div class="conflictdata"> <p>A conflict with *USER*</p> <p>Created on *DATE*</p> <p>MORE INFO HERE?</p> </div> </div> {% endfor %} Now the project models has a many to many relationship with the Django user model (but each project only has two users) (while every user can have many projects). What I would like to do is exclude the current logged in {{user}} from the Project.users queryset and display it in my template (because that would be the user with whom the current logged in user shares said project). How could I achieve this? Also here's my view in case it helps: @login_required def myconflicts(request): form = ProjectForm(request.POST or None) if request.method == "POST": form = ProjectForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): project = form.save() project.users.add(request.user) project.users.add(User.objects.last()) return redirect('problemdashboard:problem-dashboard', project_id=project.pk) form = NeedForm() else: form = NeedForm() return render(request, 'conflictmanagement/myconflicts.html', { 'form': form, 'projects': request.user.project_set.all() }) -

Getting an error when trying to call PRAW grabbing values from Model but no errors if I hard code values

Why is my model form failing to validate and save in Django?
I am sending django 2 forms in a post request 1 which works as intended and the other which fails to validate and as such is not saved. the code for the form is here : class Pick_Vulns(ModelForm): class Meta: model = ReportVuln fields = "__all__" widgets = { 'Vuln' : Select(attrs={'class':'form-control'}), 'Report' : HiddenInput(attrs={'Value': reportcount}), } This form loads correctly on the page with no issues but when the post request is sent it seems to be not be accepted and fails to validate. an example of the post request : a post request to the server the first param being a csrf token the next for being the working form the last two being part of the form that does not function.

How can I exclude rest-auth endpoint from the Django built-in API documentation?
To hide the endpoint in the Django documentation just @schema(None) has to be added for example to GenericAPIView, however I have a problem with these three urls: url(r'^swagger/', schema_view), url(r'^rest-auth/', include('rest_auth.urls')), url(r'^rest-auth/registration/', include('rest_auth.registration.urls')), I am not able to add @schema(None) decorator because I do not have declared views for these urls.

Adding Model constraints using another Model
I am currently working on an application tracking app with Candidate, Application and Job models. Ideally I would want a candidate to only apply once for a job, but the candidate should be able to apply to another Job if they wish. The problem I am encountering is since the Application model is sitting in between the Candidate and Job, I am not sure where to add the constraint - where the Application model 'detects' whether the Candidate already exists in a Job or not through the defined relationships in the Application model. Adding a unique constraint would only allow a Candidate to apply once throughout, so that would not be ideal. Candidate A -> Application A -> Job A # should work Candidate A -> Application A -> Job A # should throw error Candidate A -> Application B -> Job B # should work Here's my models.py class Candidate(models.Model): # Candidate Personal and Contact Information date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=120) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=120) email = models.EmailField() phone = models.CharField(max_length=30) # Candidate Location Information city = models.CharField(max_length=120) state = models.CharField(max_length=120) country = CountryField(blank_label='Select Country') zip_code = models.CharField(max_length=10) def __str__(self): return f'{self.first_name} {self.last_name}' class Application(models.Model): # Application Status Choices … -

Part of my django website looks worse on smartphone than rest, what is causing it?
I wanted to ask you for your help with my django website. I pushed my website to heroku, everything is working fine I think. Except "final view" on smartphones. On PC it is good, but on phone I am able to scroll a little bit horizontally and vertically. I suppose that is because I used "zoom" css functions on my images to make them align how I wanted. But still, images were small I used zoom to make them bigger, not in the other way so it should be fine? Can I somehow patch it without destroying rest of my work? I found this stackoverflow topic: DISABLE the Horizontal Scroll But "countering" user scrolling with JS looks like a plan "B" or "C" to me :P Here are screenshots that shows my problem: Here is template of this page: {% extends "builder/base.html" %} {% load static %} {% block content %} <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Vkoo8x4CGsO3+Hhxv8T/Q5PaXtkKtu6ug5TOeNV6gBiFeWPGFN9MuhOf23Q9Ifjh" crossorigin="anonymous"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}"> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Robot Builder</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> </head> <body> <!--Main jumbotron with all content inside--> <div class="jumbotron jumbotron-fluid"> <div class="container"> <h1 class="display-4">{{ robot_id }} <!--Button for reloading page to randomize robot elements … -

Django Channels VS Django 3.0 / 3.1?
Can someone clarify the differences or complementarities between Django Channels Project and new Django native async support? From what I understood, Django-Channels is a project that have been started outside of Django, and then, started to be integrated in the core Django. But the current state of this work remains confusing to me. For example, today I'm using Django 2.2, and I'd like to add WebSocket support to my project. Should I: Upgrade to the latest Django version? Use Django Channels package? Do both actions? -

How to parse django view object to JavaScript object?
I am trying to build this : There is a button, and if the button is clicked, it sends some request to django server and server returns some form. After that, put the form into a div. So, my idea is 1. make a event handling function to handle button click event 2. put AJAX operation into the event handling function to send request and put a form into a div 3. Write view to receive request and return form that fits with request 4. the AJAX operation at Step 2 put returned form into the div But the problem is, at step 3, returning form. The form is form = EventForm({'date':date(year,month,day)}), which is ModelForm based on model Event. Because Javascript cannot understand Django form object, I need something to parse it into javascript object, like div node, or just HTML string, but I don't know :( I know there is {{ form.as_p }} for template, but I wonder if there is such function for view codes
