GreenLeaf - Plant Care

GreenLeaf is a plant watering schedule app built using Django. You can use it to keep track of your plants, simply add them to your profile and log their status, last watered and add any notes.

Setup

The first thing to do is to clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/j-scoop/plant-tracker.git
$ cd plant-tracker

Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:

$ python -m venv ./venv/
$ venv/Scripts/activate.bat

Then install the dependencies:

(venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file in your project directory and place your SECRET_KEY inside it:

SECRET_KEY = '*6weiv*lnf2(e%kno0mnnkb1ozsmbh7177a%la=yj$1i&ruai$'

Note: it is recommended you generate your own unique SECRET_KEY. This can be done in the Python console by doing the following:

from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key

print(get_random_secret_key())

Create the database tables:

(venv)$ py manage.py makemigrations

(venv)$ py manage.py migrate

You can then run the development server:

(venv)$ python manage.py runserver

And navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
