Blueprint for Web Setup

Provide a 1st-time configuration screen.

Setting the 1st username/password here & then running models/zzz_1st_run.py means that:

• User can be given admin rights even on databases which support referential integrity.

Configuration settings are in the file models/000_config.py which will have a simple structured format.

• models/00_settings.py reads these settings to do the actual configuration.
• The Web Setup should ideally read in the 000_config.py file, make any amendments as-required & then write it out.
• This means that developers can edit the settings live (we remain RAD) & there are no unncessary DB calls every request.
• Ideally the Web setup should have a UI which works via introspection, so doesn't need to be maintained separately when settings are added/amended (this means the settings file needs to include labels/help text).

These are the settings which will be configured:

• Randomising the hmac_key during web setup before 1st admin password is created is important.
• Securing the self-registration

Provide an option to import themes of settings (e.g. 'FEMA') using shn_import from CSV files in private/import:

• Symbology (icons on maps)
• Terminology of Labels
• Forms used (which fields are used, which are mandatory, etc)
• Which modules are active
