A useful boilerplate that uses Vagrant and Puppet to setup your development server and create your Django 1.6 project. You'll have a development environment up and running in no time.

Includes

• Debian 7.4
• Nginx
• Python 2.7
• Virtualenv
• Django 1.6.2
• django-celery
• django-compressor
• django-debug-toolbar

Installation

• you can fork the repository and use it as your project repo, clone it or just download the zip and unpack it in your existing project.
• change the settings from data/config.yaml to customize your app. Create a folder for the synced_folder option. We use src as default, but you can customize it as you wish. It doesn't even have to be in the current directory.
• start your virtual machine:

$ vagrant up

• go get a coffee and wait until the VM is up and provisioned
• after the provision process is done you will have the Django project created in you synced_folder based on hipwerk/django-skel repository
• edit the DB connection params from the Django settings

$ vagrant ssh
$ cd /path/to/your/django/app
$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py collectstatic

• now you just have to add a new line in your hosts file to map the configured virtual host and IP address
• that's it!
