Tor's Gitlab Lobby

This Django application contains the lobby website for Tor's Gitlab instance. The Gitlab Lobby allows users to:

1. Request accounts on our Gitlab server, if they are interested in working with Tor's development teams.

2. Anonymously submit and comment on issues on Tor's Gitlab instance.

We currently run a trial instance of this project on https://gitlab.onionize.space. Users can request Gitlab accounts from there.

To run it locally

You need to start by setting the SECRET_KEY variable in src/secrets.json'. This value can be an arbitrary string, and you should never commit changes to settings.py`. Secrets.json is currently added to the .gitignore to avoid commits.

Then run the following commands:

$ virtualenv -p python3.7 .env 
$ source .env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python src/manage.py makemigrations
$ python src/manage.py migrate
$ python src/manage.py runserver

When runserver is running, you should be able to point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and reach the local version of the application.
