Following along with a docker django deployment tutorial; however I am getting connection to db refused

I built a quick dummy (main project, 1 app named "home" with a HttpResponse). I created a .env with database creds; added them to settings.py but when I deploy to docker on my machine the log returns

2024-12-27 10:11:53 django.db.utils.OperationalError: connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 5435 failed: Connection refused
2024-12-27 10:11:53 Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

2024-12-27 10:11:53 Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

I have postgres running in docker on port 5435. I can connect to the DB in DBeaver and PGAdmin


I have tried using the docker postgres ip, the name

I Made a Drop-In Wrapper For `argparse` That Automatically Creates a GUI Interface

## What My Project Does

Since I end up using Python 3's built-in `argparse` a lot in my projects and have received many requests from downstream users for GUI interfaces, I created a package that wraps an existing `Parser` and generates a terminal-based GUI for it.
If you include the `--gui` flag (by default), it opens an interface using [Textual](https://github.com/Textualize/textual) which includes mouse support (in all the terminals I've tested).
The best part is that you can still use the regular command line interface as usual if you'd prefer.

Using the large demo parser I typically use for testing, it looks like this:

https://github.com/Sorcerio/Argparse-Interface/blob/master/assets/ArgUIDemo_small.gif?raw=true

Currently, ArgUI supports:
- Text input (`str`, `int`, `float`).
- `nargs` arguments with styled list inputs.
- Booleans (with switches).
- Groups (exclusive and named).
- Subparsers.

Which, as far as I can tell, encompases the full suite of base-level `argparse` inputs.

## Target Audience

This project is designed for anyone who uses Python's `argparse` in their command-line applications and would like a more user-friendly terminal interface with mouse support.
It is good for developers who want to add a GUI to their existing CLI tools without losing the flexibility and power of the command line.

Right now, I would suggest using it for non-enterprise development until I can test the code

Created an open-source business management software using Django and HTMX

Hi everyone,

Over the past 2.5 years I've been learning Django (and Python). One of the main projects I started working on (quite naively I must say in hindsight) was creating business management software for a company I was interning at. Some two years and a lot of itterations later, I decided to open-source the project under the name **Bloomerp**.

The vision behind the project is to allow developers to build scalable business management software for companies **by just defining the Django models**, whilst maintaining the ability to add custom functionality that fits integrates within the project's UI.

Some out-of-the-box features that Bloomerp provides:

* Intuitive CRUD views with built-in access control
* Advanced list views offering powerful filtering
* A PDF generation system for documents based on objects (like contracts, using Employee objects)
* Customizable dashboards using SQL-based widgets
* An SQL query editor for advanced data analysis
* Automatic REST API generation for all models
* Bookmarking system
* Integration with an LLMs
* ...

It would be amazing to receive some well-needed feedback on the project, or even to get some contributors on board. You can check out the repo on Github at [DavidBloomer11/Bloomerp](https://github.com/DavidBloomer11/Bloomerp) or you can check out a live demo on [bloomerp.io](https://bloomerp.io/)

Feel free to ask me any questions!

Thanks

What Do Recruiters and Employers Look for in Junior Web Developers?

Hi everyone,

I’m a junior web developer, and I’ve been actively applying for jobs lately. I’m curious—what do recruiters and employers typically look for when hiring junior web devs? Are there specific skills, experiences, or qualities that stand out?

I’ve primarily been applying for remote positions outside my current country of residence, the Philippines. Could this impact the hiring process? I assume it varies by country, as hiring a foreign employee often involves additional scrutiny.

Here are the links to my resume and portfolio as reference:

If you’re a recruiter, employer, or someone who’s landed a junior dev position, I’d love to hear your insights and advice.

Thanks in advance!

Not able to login in a user to my VueJS frontend which communicates with my Django backend

This is for those that are also familiar with VueJS and DRF. But I am trying to login as a user, with an email/password I just created on the Login Page. But when I click the 'Login' button nothing happens, it should log me in and redirect me to the 'Homeowner Dashboard' page. To clarify I got DRF set with up Django, that is I created the API calls that connect to my Django API views.


So I'm not exactly sure why this is happening, I don't know if this is strictly a VueJS, Django or DRF issue or all of them. Also when I inspect the page in the console, it just says 'API call successful:'. I have axios implemented in my VueJS project.


I'd share my code here, however I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'm simply testing my project from the frontend to the backend. I'm not sure if creating a user in Django Admin would help or not. Pretty sure this is easy fix somewhere. Please help me with this, my project repos are set to private but I can make them both public for you guys to see if that would

ERROR ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 or psycopg module

I'm currently trying to update a Django rest api on AWS Lambda using the following command.

zappa update dev

However it gives me the following error

Error: Warning! Status check on the deployed lambda failed. A GET request to '/' yielded a 502 response code.

When I run the following

zappa tail

I see the error

ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 or psycopg module

Does anyone know how to fix this error? I check requirements.txt file and it has the latest version of both psycopg2 and psycopg2-binary (2.9.10). I don't know why I'm getting the error.

Automated Dataset Generation for Object Detection

# What My Project Does

This project shows how we can generate custom synthetic datasets for training object detection models. Think of it like making your own training data on demand, especially when getting real-world images is a headache.

# Target audience

This project is designed for individuals who want to learn how to create their own datasets for computer vision tasks but are tired of the usual data struggles. It’ll walk you through the whole process, from coming up with ideas for your data to automatically labeling it, so you can skip the endless manual work.

# Comparison

Right now, if you need data to train a custom object detector, you're usually stuck either spending forever labeling stuff yourself or dealing with the hassle of finding and paying for existing datasets. And even then, it might not be exactly what you need. But now, with all these AI vision models and image generators popping up, there's a new way to do things. Instead of the usual manual grind, we can use LLMs and vision models to create the training data we actually need. Since there are tons of these models out there, both free and paid, you've got a lot of choices to find

What’s your library “stack”?

Hello! I’m switching to Django for my personal projects haven’t spent a lot of energy using Go, which I love but I have had to reimplement a lot from scratch.
I’m curious to know what are your go-to libraries for the most common needs (but feel free to drop any amazing library worth mentioning) so that I can migrate what I usually do in go to Django.

I’ll mention what I’m thinking of using so far:

- Django rest framework to implement rest api (I’ll focus on react + drf for my projects)

- djoser for authentication (I’d need jwt and social)

- celery for async events and crons

- throttling, I think drf offers a solution using django-redis

- Django-impersonate to impersonate users for troubleshooting purposes

- uploading files to s3 instead of local storage

- channels for webhooks and web sockets

- permissions/groups/roles to allow disallow users from accessing other users’ resources (images and documents included).

How do you manage sending mails with SMTP with all analytics and tracking on SES?

I am looking to have a custom implementation for sending and tracking mails. SES can do tracking, but I want to have a robust mail sending system. I have tried listmonk and it does not track for campaigns and the customizability is limited there. I'm looking to build a custom sender.

Is there anything I should avoid while building this? Is send and forget the right way and forcing SES to manage delivery +other analytics the best way?

Does anyone have some repos with a really good implementation of a mail sending system?

Django courses focusing beyond the basics

Most online courses focus on zero-to-one content (introducing the basics of a language or framework). I'm planning on creating micro-courses that go beyond stage one.

These micro-courses,

focus on one outcome
have a series of tasks/objectives to complete (learning by doing)
can be completed within a week by spending a few hours a day and
cover intermediate or advanced concepts

Examples,

1. Implementing webhooks for payment gateways
2. Processing webhook payloads the right way
3. Deploying a Django application on a VPS
4. Developing CLI tools for application housekeeping
5. Monitoring 500 errors in LIVE/PROD servers
6. Designing a backup policy and automating backups

Would you be interested in such micro-courses?
