Installation

Code repository for DMP can be found at https://github.com/matijakolaric-com/django-music-publisher.

Installation to a cloud

DMP (Django-Music-Publisher) is based on Django Web Framework (https://djangoproject.org), and requires Python 3 (https://python.org). It can be installed to a PC, but installing it into a cloud is highly recommended.

Digital Ocean is the recommended provider.

Digital Ocean

Minimal monthly cost is $5 for the application, $7 for the database, so $12 in total. Optional $5 for file storage is only required for experimental features.

They usually give free credits that must be used within 60 days.

1. Click on the button below. (This is an affiliate link, providing you with free credits.)

2. Wizard

Once you have registered, click on the next button to start the installation wizard.

2.1. In the first step, edit the plan and select Basic, then the cheapest plan, this is enough for publishers with up to several thousand works.

2.2 Edit web environment variables. See settings for details. Click on SAVE!!

2.3 Select region closest to you.

2.4 Review and click on “create resources”.

3. Installation takes several minutes. Once it is done, click on the console tab and enter:

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

Then enter your user name and password (twice). You can leave e-mail empty, it is not used.

If you forget your login/password, you can use the console for adding a new superuser or change the password with:

python manage.py changepassword

Custom installation

For everything else, basic programming and/or system administration skills are required.

Start with Deploying Django documentation.

If you plan to use Django-Music-Publisher as one of the apps in your Django project, there is nothing special about it:

pip install --upgrade django_music_publisher

Add music_publisher.apps.MusicPublisherConfig to INSTALLED_APPS. Almost everything goes through the Django Admin. The only exception is royalty calculation, which has to be added to urls.py

from music_publisher.royalty_calculation import RoyaltyCalculationView

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('royalty_calculation/', RoyaltyCalculationView.as_view(), name='royalty_calculation'),
]

Experimental features (involving file system) may require additional work.

Good luck!

Settings

There are several environment variables that need to be set, and several optional ones. Note that if invalid data is entered or required data is not entered, deployment may fail and/or application may break down.

Secret key

Django requires SECRET_KEY to be set. It can be any random string. You can use https://miniwebtool.com/django-secret-key-generator/ to generate one, but do change it somewhat after pasting for complete security.

Publisher-related settings

• PUBLISHER_NAME - Name of the publisher using Django-Music-Publisher, required

• PUBLISHER_IPI_NAME - Publisher’s IPI Name Number, required

• PUBLISHER_CODE - Publisher’s CWR Delivery code, defaults to 000, which is not accepted by CMOs, but may be accepted by (sub-)publishers.

• PUBLISHER_SOCIETY_PR - Publisher’s performance collecting society (PRO) numeric code, required. See Collective management organisations.

• PUBLISHER_IPI_BASE - Publisher’s IPI Base Number, rarely used

• PUBLISHER_SOCIETY_MR - Publisher’s mechanical collecting society (MRO) numeric code

• PUBLISHER_SOCIETY_SR - Publisher’s synchronization collecting society numeric code, rarely used

For the list of codes, please have a look at societies.csv file in the music_publisher folder of the code repository.

Agreement-related settings

These settings define the percentage of the manuscript share transferred to the publisher. The default is “London Split”, where 50% of performance and 100% of mechanical and sync rights are transferred.

• PUBLISHING_AGREEMENT_PUBLISHER_PR - Performance share transferred to the publisher, default is ‘0.5’ (50%)

• PUBLISHING_AGREEMENT_PUBLISHER_MR - Mechanical share transferred to the publisher, default is ‘1.0’ (100%)

• PUBLISHING_AGREEMENT_PUBLISHER_SR - Synchronization share transferred to the publisher, default is ‘1.0’ (100%)

Enter 1.0 for 100%, 0.5 for 50%, 0.3333 for 33.33%, etc.

S3 storage

For Digital Ocean Spaces, you need to set up only four config (environment) variables. AWS and other S3 providers will also work.

• S3_REGION (alias for AWS_S3_REGION_NAME) and S3_BUCKET (alias for AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME), you get them when you set up your Spaces, and

• S3_ID (alias for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID) and S3_SECRET (alias for AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY), you get them when you generate your Spaces API key.

If you want to use AWS or some other S3 provider, the full list of settings is available here.

Other options

• OPTION_FORCE_CASE - available options are upper, title and smart, converting nearly all strings to UPPER CASE or Title Case or just UPPERCASE fields to Title Case, respectively. If unset, everything is left as entered.

• OPTION_FILES - enables support for file uploads (audio files and images), using local file storage (PC & VPS)
