You would need a github id so we can add you to our organization;
Our repo is at: https://github.com/Xcov19/covidX;
You don’t have to worry on this part but get a quickstart on Bazel 101
Lets agree on Using Black. When in confusion, we refer to Python StyleGuide
Reply to this thread with your github id and any questions. You will get a direct message here with a zoom invite for Onboarding & Orientation on Project and how we can collaborate remotely;

Hi Akul, I am seeing your message only now. I am travelling while I can. They are putting more covid restriction everywhere in Europe. Would a zoom work for you next Monday?

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

My GitHub ID is rudiejd. I believe I’m already in the slack channel. I’m a graduate student from the US, and I will be able to help with data engineering tasks, seeing as how I worked a bit in this field, and with any other Python backend tasks as needed.

Hi, I signed up to Auth0 and Algolia, but what is tht SECRET_KEY mentioned in the README?

admin

marcelloromani django secret key. for local development use any random alphanumeric string of your imagination

admin Tnanks. I’ve raised a PR to clarify this in the readme.

Now I’ve added -p 8000:8000 to the docker run command but I still get “empty response from server”, coult it be because django can’t connect to postgres?

Also I’ve installed postgres on macos, added the relevant entry in pg_hba.conf and can successfully connect via TCP/IP with psql -h 192.168.0.17 -U postgres -W postgres

I’ve also added -e POSTGRES_DB_HOST=192.168.0.17 but it keeps trying to connect to localhost:5432
the IP is my laptop’s LAN IP
