Stiftung Application

A## 🏃‍♂️ Quick Start

Development Environment

For local development, use the development Docker Compose configuration:

# Start development environment (uses hardcoded dev settings)
docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml up -d

# Run migrations
docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml exec web python manage.py migrate

# Create superuser
docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml exec web python manage.py createsuperuser

# Access applications
# - Django: http://localhost:8081
# - Paperless: http://localhost:8082
# - Database: localhost:5433

Production Deployment

Production deployment uses the main compose.yml and is handled automatically via GitHub Actions. The production environment reads configuration from the server's .env file (not included in the repository for security).

Development Setup

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/remmerinio/stiftung-management-system.git
cd stiftung-management-system

# Start development environment (isolated from production)
docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml up -d

# Create superuser
docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml exec web python manage.py createsuperuser

# Access application
open http://localhost:8081  # Django app

Production Deployment

Production uses automated deployment via GitHub Actions. The production environment has its own .env file with secure credentials that is not stored in Git.

For Production:

• Environment variables are configured on the server
• HTTPS is enabled with Let's Encrypt certificates
• Database users are manually configured for security
• Automated deployments preserve manual configurations

See deployment documentation for complete setup instructions.
