If you have already cloned the repository, pick a mode and run the matching initialization script in the project root:
# Docker Compose: Postgres + Redis + Celery + nginx media
bash init-docker.sh
# uv + npm on the host: SQLite, no Redis, Celery in always-eager mode
bash init-local.sh

Project Structure
SpeedPy uses a single-app Django project layout. The majority of your code will live in the mainapp directory, which is structured as a series of Python packages instead of single files (e.g., mainapp/models/, mainapp/views/, mainapp/forms/).
A separate usermodel app handles the custom user model with email-based authentication.
Production Readiness
Before deploying to production, ensure you remove demo content and placeholder pages. Refer to the PRODUCTION_READY.md file in the repository or the Production Readiness documentation for a complete checklist.
Deployment
SpeedPy includes an appliku.yml file for automatic configuration with Appliku. See the Deployment documentation for detailed instructions on setting up your application, databases, and background workers.
