This is a Python Django-based personal portfolio website.

The website usesWagtail CMS. Wagtail is a Django Content Management System.

All content: personal information, portfolio projects, social media links, Google Analytics tracking code, etc. can beadjusted in Wagtail admin.

The fronted theme is an inspiration fromStart Bootstrap Freelancer theme.

This repo can be used as a starting point for developing a production-ready Django personal website with deployment toHeroku. I am releasing the full source code for the site so that others may benefit from it.

To view the website demo, please visitvladislavalerievich.herokuapp.com.

NOTE: The web application may take a few seconds to start up.

Setup local environment for the development process.

Go to./portfolio directory and activate virtual environment.

pip install -r requirements.txtpython manage.py migratepython manage.py createsuperuserpython manage.py runserver

Go tohttp://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ in your browser to the Wagtail CMS admin to populate it with your data and toconfigure homepage.

Heroku usesDockerfile to build and run the application.

To deploy your application on Heroku, you need to do several things:

1. Create Heroku Account
2. Download/Install/Setup Heroku CLI
3. After installation, log into Heroku CLI:heroku login.
4. Run:heroku create <your app name> to create the Heroku application.
5. Run:heroku stack:set container so Heroku knows this is a containerized application.
6. Run:heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev, creating the Postgres add-on for Heroku.
7. Set the URL (e.g.https://<app name>.herokuapp.com) of your application into environment variableHOST_NAME inHeroku config settings.
8. To receive emails from the contact form you need an email account. If you choose Google, you need toconfigureSign in with App Passwords for this account.Then provide your email and password into environment variablesEMAIL_HOST_USERandEMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD in Heroku config vars settings.
9. To store media files you need to configure storage. I have chosenCloudinary.Run:heroku addons:add cloudinary and proceed with finishing account setup. Then provide data from dashboard intoenvironment variablesCLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME,CLOUDINARY_API_KEY andCLOUDINARY_API_SECRET in Heroku configsettings.
10. Deploy your app by running:git push heroku master.
11. Create a superuser by running:heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser.
