Environment Setup¶
- PYTHONUNBUFFERED

- DJANGO_PORT

- HOSTNAME
- The root url that this instance of Django will run at. Using ngrok is suggested.
- DATABASE_URL
- URL of the database (as specified here: https://github.com/kenneth-reitz/dj-database-url) on which to store Megatron data. Don’t use the same database as another Django app.
- REDIS_URL
- Megatron uses celery to queue tasks through redis.

megatron-devfor development environments.megatron-productionfor production.
We’re using S3 as a stopover here but this can be done through Slack as well. Great spot for a PR.
- S3_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
- Access key for your AWS instance. Megatron uses AWS S3 to store images it passes from one messaging workspace to another.
- S3_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
- Ditto but this one’s secret.
- AWS_S3_BUCKET
- Name of the bucket to store images that Megatron processes
