Blog post from Ory
The text provides a detailed guide on building a Django web application with authentication using the Ory Network, positioning Django as a robust framework for quickly developing web applications due to its integrated features and compatibility with various databases. The tutorial outlines the steps for bootstrapping a Django project using django-admin and Poetry for dependency management, setting up the Django environment with necessary packages, and configuring Django to work with the Ory Network for authentication. It covers creating a basic one-page application with a template, setting up views, and managing URL patterns, alongside instructions for integrating and setting up the Ory CLI and SDK for authentication. Additionally, it explains creating a project structure, modifying settings for integrating authentication backends and context processors, and demonstrates using Docker to run the application with Ory Kratos self-hosted. The guide concludes with suggestions for further enhancing the application with features like Two Factor Authentication (2FA), social sign-in, secure password policies, and account verification, while also mentioning deployment considerations for production environments.
