The back-end for NOVA mission control/operations. This project uses the Django framework. Note: At the moment of writing, this repository is very incomplete, and should only be treated as a testing playground.
- Clone the Repository
Add an ssh key to Github (How to add SSH Key to Github ssh-agent).
git clone git@github.com:UTATRocketry/nova-ops-back.git
cd nova-ops-back

pip install -r requirements.txt
Additionally, you should make sure that Redis is installed and running on your computer, as this is crucial for handling Websocket connections. Installation guide is largely simple: Redis: Installation
- Run Migrations
This will initialize a database, and commit model schemas, etc.
python manage.py migrate
- Recommended: Seed the database
Running this command will add a superuser (username: root, password: 12345) and an initial PressureSensor instance to the database.
python manage.py seed_test
Start the Django development server by running:
python manage.py runserver
Separately, run the background task for updating the example pressure sensor data:
python manage.py update_pressure
You should have an active WebSocket connection at ws://localhost:8000/ws/pressure/ that serves the pressure and id of the PressureSensor instance.
