How to configure a Fresh DB
I've installed the horilla software successfully using its installation guide on its website but it has demo data. how can i replace it with fresh DB and its configuration according to my requirements.
Hi @wasimkhan2024 , You can change the database name inside the horilla/settings.py and run the migrations command to start with a fresh database. Change the name of the database inside the settings.py file to your wish. After that run the makemigrations and migrate command. Inside settings.py you'll find a line for database configuration containing the name "TestDB_Horilla.sqlite3". Just change the name to anything you wish followed by .sqlite3 as file format. (For example: "Production_DB.sqlite3"). Run the migrations command.
python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate
If you are going for a production level installation, we suggest you to use postgresql database instead of sqlite3.

Thank you for your guidance and support. as per your suggestion of shifting to Postgresql database, is it possible for you to guide me about this shifting with complete details like what would be the suggested DB name with extension. I've followed the steps mentioned in https://www.horilla.com/docs/database-setup/ but getting error mesg.
getting error: Execution of job "block_unblock_disciplinary (trigger: interval[0:00:10], next run at: 2024-07-18 17:10:25 PKT)" skipped: maximum number of running instances reached (1)
Hi @wasimkhan2024 , Can you share with the details of the settings.py file containing the database configuration data?
