My next step into django made me realize that I do not have access to the admin panel, turns out that I need to create a cuper user first.

"cybernetic soldier working on a rusting tape machine robot, cinematic lighting, detailed, cell shaded, 4 k, warm colours, concept art, by wlop, ilya kuvshinov, artgerm, krenz cushart, greg rutkowski, pixiv. cinematic dramatic atmosphere, sharp focus, volumetric lighting, cinematic lighting, studio quality" -s50 -W832 -H416 -C12.0 -Ak_lms -S3309980874

Run Migrations

Right away when trying to setup the superuser I ran into this issue


django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: auth_user

Back to the tutorial tells me that I need to run migrations to setup some tables for the INSTALLED_APPS, django.contrib.admin being one of them.


python manage.py migrate

Running the database migrations

yes I am still running remote on from my chromebook.


python manage.py createsuperuser

The super user has been created.

"cybernetic soldier working on a rusting tape machine robot, cinematic lighting, detailed, cell shaded, 4 k, warm colours, concept art, by wlop, ilya kuvshinov, artgerm, krenz cushart, greg rutkowski, pixiv. cinematic dramatic atmosphere, sharp focus, volumetric lighting, cinematic lighting, studio quality" -s50 -W832 -H416 -C12.0 -Ak_lms -S2018296614

CSRF FAILURE

My next issue trying to run off of a separate domain was a cross site request forgery error.

Since this is a valid domain that we are hosting the app from we need to tell Django that this is safe. We can do this again in the settings.py, but this time the variable we need is not there out of the box and we need to add it.


CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS = ['https://localhost.waylonwalker.com']

I made it!!

And we are in, and welcomed for the first time with this django admin panel.

Remote Hosting

You might find these settings helpful as well if you are trying to run your site on a remote host like aws, digital ocean, linode, or any sort of cloud providor. I had it running in my home lab while I was out of the house and ssh'd in over with a chromebook.
