Architecture

DontManage Framework is a full-stack web based framework and it includes all the tools needed to deploy a site into production. Database, caching, background jobs, realtime notifications, etc are all configured when you set up a DontManage site.

DontManage framework is based on Python, so it uses the virtualenv to setup isolated environments for multiple Python versions. You can also use it to deploy sites with different DontManage versions.

The following diagram closely resembles the dontmanage-bench directory structure and its interface with different parts of the stack.

Architecture

To setup a DontManage based site, you need to first install Bench. If you haven't installed it already, check out the Installation page.

You can create a new dontmanage-bench setup by running the following command:

bench init dontmanage-bench

This command will do the following:

1. Create a directory called dontmanage-bench and dontmanage-bench/sites, dontmanage-bench/apps within it.
2. Setup a python virtual environment under dontmanage-bench/env.
3. Create a dontmanage-bench/config folder to store redis configuration files.
4. Download dontmanage app and pip install it.
5. Install node packages.
6. Build JS/CSS assets.

Each dontmanage-bench setup spawns it owns web, redis and node processes.
