If you want to have a quick look or just run the project locally, you can get started by either forking this repository or just cloning it directly:
git clone [email protected]:vitorfs/colossus.git
Ideally, create a virtualenv and install the projects dependencies:
pip install -r requirements/development.txt
Create a local database:
python manage.py migrate
Start development server:
python manage.py runserver
Open your browser and access the setup page to create an admin account:

PS: Campaign scheduling will not work out-of-the-box. You need to install a message broker and setup Celery properly.
- Python 3.6
- Django 2.1
- PostgreSQL 10
- Celery 4.2
- RabbitMQ 3.7
- Bootstrap 4
- jQuery 3.3
PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ are soft dependencies. Other databases (supported by Django) can easily be used as well as other message broker compatible with Celery.
The jQuery library is more of a Bootstrap dependency. There is very little JavaScript code in the project. For the most part the code base is just plain Django and HTML templates.
Complete list of Python dependencies can be found in the requirements files.
This is just a pre-release of the project and I still have to work on a proper documentation and user guides.
For now you will only find documentation of the internal APIs in the source code.
Right now just myself. I'm currently using it for my blog newsletter at simpleisbetterthancomplex.com.
