Development server¶

Django comes with an integrated development server. It can be started using:

python manage.py runserver

Then, RDMO is available on http://localhost:8000 in your (local) browser. The development server is not suited to serve the application to the internet.

If you want the development server to be accessible from other machines in your local network you need to use:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

where 8000 is the port and can be changed according to your needs. Please do not use this setup for more than testing and development, it is not secure. The Django development server does only serve the static files correctly if you have debug mode enabled. Therefore please do not forget to change the line DEBUG = False in your config/settings/local.py to DEBUG = True if you want to use it.

More information about the development server can be found in the Django documentation.
