Get SilverStrike running on your machine

The easiest way to deploy SilverStrike is to clone this repository and use the provided docker-compose file. Check out you own branch so you can persist your configuration. You need to set a SECRET_KEY and should update the domain names and then you can start it up. You can generate yourself a random secrety key by running python -c 'from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())'

After starting the container, you should create a user account docker-compose exec -it ags python manage.py createsuperuser

To update SilverStrike simply fetch the changes from GitHub and rebuild your container.

By default, sqlite is used which should be enough for a local installation. If you'd rather use postgresdb or mariadb you can uncomment the relevant parts in the docker-compose.

In the deploy directory you can find a couple of files:

• nginx.conf minimal nginx configuration for a reverse proxy setup
• local_settings.py Use this file to override any of the settings found in settings.py
• demo_middleware.py If you want to use some kind of external authentication you could use this as a starting point

Contributing

You can contribute in several ways. If you know how to code or are a designer, you are welcome to contribute using pull requests.
