Transkribus workflow

Start the environment for local development

This assumes that dependencies are installed and components like Redis are set up. This also assumes that you have already a running PostgreSQL database.

Activate the virtual environment and start the Redis server. Redis acts as a message broker for Celery tasks.

source venv/bin/activate
sudo service redis-server start

Start the Celery worker to process background tasks.

celery -A transkribus_workflow worker --loglevel=info

This command starts the Celery worker, which listens for tasks and executes them as they are received.

This will keep running in the terminal, so in a new shell, activate the virtual environment again and start django's development server.

source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py runserver
