Make Commands

Makefile Commands Reference

This project uses an environment-based Makefile to manage Docker, Django, background workers, Redis, and Nginx with simple commands. The same commands work for both development and production, and automatically switch behavior based on the environment. Before running any command, make sure your environment is set in .env:

MAKEFILE_ENV=dev   # for local development
# or
MAKEFILE_ENV=prod  # for production server

All commands should be executed from the project root directory: cd digistore

Some commands are intentionally disabled in production to prevent accidental data loss (for example: make down-v, make makemigrations, Redis CLI, etc.).
