Running Sillypaste

Run with Docker

docker-compose up

The database will be a Postgresql database with a named volume that is not mapped into the host filesystem.

Run In place

Code hot-reloading doesn't work in Docker. You can run sillypaste in place via:

poetry run python -m sillypaste prepare &&
    poetry run python -m sillypaste runserver

It will use a db.sqlite3 in the project directory. You can change this by setting up DATABASE_URL (see possible forms here).
