Django Notes App

A simple and efficient notes application built with React for the frontend and Django for the backend. This project serves as a great example of combining modern frontend technologies with a robust backend framework.

Requirements

• Python 3.9
• Node.js
• React

Features

• Simple and intuitive note-taking functionality.
• Built with a modern tech stack: Django REST API and React.
• Dockerized for easy setup and deployment.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/LondheShubham153/django-notes-app.git  
cd django-notes-app  

2. Build the Application

Using Docker, build the application image:

docker build -t notes-app .  

3. Run the Application

Run the Docker container:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 notes-app:latest  

The app will be available at http://localhost:8000.

Deploy with Nginx

To make the application available publicly, set up an Nginx reverse proxy:

1. Update your package manager and install Nginx:

   sudo apt-get update  
   sudo apt install nginx  

2. Configure Nginx:
   Create a configuration file for the notes app:

   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/notes-app  

   Add the following configuration:

   server {  
       listen 80;  
       server_name your-domain.com;  
   
       location / {  
           proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;  
           proxy_set_header Host $host;  
           proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;  
           proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;  
       }  
   }  

3. Enable the Configuration and Restart Nginx:

   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/notes-app /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/  
   sudo nginx -t  
   sudo systemctl restart nginx  

Now your app is accessible via http://your-domain.com.
