The wagtail product site, built with Wagtail

Wagtail.io on Wagtail

Wagtail is distributed as a Python package, to be incorporated into a Django project via the INSTALLED_APPS setting. To get you up and running quickly, we provide a demo site with all the configuration in place, including a set of example page types.

This project is essentially a clone of wagtaildemo, customised for Wagtail's own product site.

Setup (with Vagrant)

We recommend running Wagtail in a virtual machine using Vagrant, as this ensures that the correct dependencies are in place regardless of how your host machine is set up.

Dependencies

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant 1.1+

Installation

Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail-wagtailsite.git
cd wagtail-wagtailsite
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
  (then, within the SSH session:)
./manage.py createsuperuser
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

This will make the app accessible on the host machine as http://localhost:8111/ - you can access the Wagtail admin interface at http://localhost:8111/admin/ . The codebase is located on the host machine, exported to the VM as a shared folder; code editing and Git operations will generally be done on the host.
