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

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.

admin

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

admin

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
