QUESTION
Please, i'm very new to Python and Django, a friend (non developer) reached out to me on deploying django on digitalocean. I've tried troubleshooting some of my issues but dont understand how to solve the latest one:
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Apr-09 at 16:20It's very obvious from the error message if you read it carefully.
The user requested Django==2.2.16, but django-rest-logger 1.0.4 depends on Django<=2.2 and >=1.11. As the error message suggested, you should either loosen the Django version from 2.2.16 to 2.2 or uninstall django-rest-logger

QUESTION
I am building API in django rest framework and i test these APIs from a vs code extension called thunder client which works similarly as postman.
I am using django-rest-knox for token authentication and added it to the settings also;
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-23 at 03:19Answering my own question because i found the solution and that was a little non-sense for me.
As tokens are long strings, so every one prefers to copy paste them. So did i.
And we need to set a header Authorization in the request to validate a user;
QUESTION
My Setup
I am using React and Django as frontend & backend. For authorization purposes I chose Django-rest-knox, which works via tokens stored in a database.
My Problem
Now if an attacker gets a hold of the token (stored in local storage on the client side after a login), he can do anything that the user is able to. There is some expiration on the token and the ability to destroy all tokens of the user by the user himself. But I'd like to be on the safer side.
My Solution
My idea is to map all tokens to the IP address (of the user) that was used to login. That way the token would only be usable on the machine that was used to login. That token-to-IP-address relation would be checked on the backend.
My Questions
- Is the idea feasible at all or is there anything in the nature of those IP addresses that breaks my intent?
- What is the best way to get the client IP-address?
- Do you think that is a secure approach?
Thanks for the help!
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-13 at 20:00The idea is feasible but not efficient. The main problem is, not everyone using static ip address and this will cause you a big feedback by your users because everytime some user's ip address change(via modem reset, power cut, provider problems etc.) he/she/it will have to be authenticated again.
You use 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' meta for almost all backend framework as well as django. you can check this link. How do I get user IP address in django?
- This idea may come with security but i ll give you a better one that i am currently using on my own application.
My solution: Refresh tokens. With refresh tokens, every time an access token expire(avarage 15 min ideal) user will request a new access token via his/her/its refresh token. With this way even an attacker get user's access token, he/she/it will be only available for 15 minutes(you can make 5-10-15-... mins as well)

QUESTION
I am trying to use some imports from allauth but I get Python(unresolved-import).
I have also pip installed django-allauth, and I am using a virtualenv.
This is my pip freeze from inside the virtual environment:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-08 at 14:48Yes, it is possible, and you should install it within the virtualenv. (Unless your virtualenv is created with --system-site-packages, it won't use those system-wide packages.)
You should clean up your global environment:
- Outside your virtualenv, run
pip list. Look at packages that shouldn't be there (there could be a handful that are handy to have around globally, but generally as few as possible global packages, the better). - Run
pip uninstall some-package-hereon those packages.
Then reinstall your requirements within your virtualenv (it could be a good idea to delete the virtualenv and create a new one in its place).
It's also generally a good idea to have the PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV setting configured so you don't accidentally install packages globally.

Install django-rest-knox
You can use django-rest-knox like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
