CVDB

CV database for storing and displaying CVs and resumes. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

• CVs and resumes can be uploaded in JSON resume format (examples)
• They can be exported as HTML and PDF
• Can choose CSS file to be used for styling the CV or write your own CSS
• Open source (MIT licence)

Sources at GitHub. Running instance at cvdb.fi.

Using

• Python(3.9) and Django(4.1)
• Behave, behave-django and Selenium for functional testing
• GitHub for version control
• Ansible for provisioning servers
• Fabric for automated deployments
• Travis and CircleCI for test automation
• codecov.io for test coverage tracking
• django-allauth for 3rd party authentication
• JSON resume as reference resume format
• AWS and/or DigitalOcean for servers
• PyCharm as IDE
• Obey the testing goat for guidance and inspiration

Deploy

Install Ansible

Install fabric 1.x:

pip install - r requirements-deploy.txt

Get sources:

git clone https://github.com/jarnoln/cvdb.git

Add your host to ansible/inventory. Then:

ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory ansible/provision-deb.yaml

fab -f fabfile.py deploy:host=user@host

Set up development environment

Get sources:

git clone https://github.com/jarnoln/cvdb.git

Create virtual environment and install Python packages:

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 cvdb
pip install -r requirements.txt

Generate password:

python cvdb/generate_passwords.py cvdb/passwords.py

Initialize DB:

./manage.py migrate
./manage.py makemigrations viewcv
./manage.py migrate viewcv

Run tests:

./manage.py test

If tests pass, you should be good to go.

Run development server:

./manage.py runserver

Now should be able to see CVDB in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Note: When trying to sign up on local server, sending confirmation email fails unless a mail server is installed. Installing for example Postfix should fix this:

sudo apt install postfix
