The South Bend parks department needs a way to geotag trees on public property. This information could be used for the following:
- Planning where to plant new trees
- Identifying diseased trees for maintenance
- Informing storm cleanup
- Science!
The basic collection of tree info is simple. We need a few approximate measurements, a GPS location, a picture of the tree from afar and a picture of a leaf. In addition the basic collection form we need user accounts with social authentication, data exploration tools and methods of data extraction to give to the city.
This project uses the Django framework and requires the following to be installed.
- Python
- SQLite3
- Bower
It is highly recommended to run this (and all Python apps) under virualenv to avoid polluting the global Python environment. Install globally at your peril, you have been warned.
git clone [email protected]:HackMichiana/tree-hugger-server.git
cd tree-hugger-server
pip install -r requirements.txt
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py loaddata tree_hugger/fixtures/admin.json
./manage.py bower install
./manage.py runserver
Browse to http://localhost:8000 to see the map view. http://localhost:8000/add-a-tree contains the HTML5 tree submission form. To view the admin navigate to http://localhost:8000/admin and log in with
- username:
admin - password:
admin
The admin user was loaded in the loaddata step and should only be created for development instances. The admin user should not exist for production deployments!
There is also a REST API at /api/v1/?format=json powered by Tastypie.
