Wagtail demo project

This is a demonstration project for Wagtail CMS.

We do not recommend using this project to start your own site. This project is only to provide some examples of implementing common features, it is not an exemplar of Django or Wagtail best practice.

If you're reasonably new to Python/Django, we suggest you run this project on a Virtual Machine using Vagrant, which helps resolve common software dependency issues. However for more experienced developers, instructions to start this project without Vagrant follow below.

Once you're familiar with the examples in this project and you want to start a real site, we strongly recommend running the wagtail start command in a fresh virtual environment, explained in the Wagtail CMS Documentation.

Setup with Vagrant

Dependencies

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant 1.5+

Installation

Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/torchbox/bakerydemo.git
cd wagtaildemo
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
  (then, within the SSH session:)
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

The demo site will now be accessible at http://localhost:8000/ and the Wagtail admin interface at http://localhost:8000/admin/ . Log into the admin with the credentials admin / changeme.

Setup without Vagrant

Don't want to set up a whole VM to try out Wagtail? No problem.

Dependencies

• PIP

Installation

With PIP installed run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/torchbox/bakerydemo.git
cd wagtaildemo
pip install -r requirements.txt
./manage.py migrate
