Very close to launch
So today I decided I would deploy the alpha version of dFe.
I hadn't deployed a Django app in a long time, so I thought I'd just do it for fun. Even with the knowledge that I still need to style things better.
I planned to deploy to a PaaS like Railway.app or Fly.io. So I found myself a deployment checklist and following one of my favourite Django people, Vicent, I deployed successfully to a fly.io sub-domain.
I worked without any hiccups.
Of course, the app is empty with no objects in the DB.
I created myself a superuser so I could use the Django admin interface to create some data to display.
It worked well. But when I tried adding data, I encountered an error. One that simply didn't happen in my development machine.
I then resorted to trying to install Sentry, which is an error logging utility that is commonly used in Django for apps in production.
That's when I hit a roadblock. I still can't get Sentry to work, and therefore cannot troubleshoot the error I am getting when trying to add data to the DB using the Django admin interface.
I will give it a few more tries, but if I am not successful, I will go to bed and rest. I can try again tomorrow.
