Project Overview

This application leverages Django for backend logic, data modeling, and API endpoints, while Bootstrap is used for rapid UI prototyping and responsive design. The goal is to provide a scalable, secure, and maintainable platform for server data management and visualization.

---

Features

• 🔒 User Authentication: Secure login and session management using Django’s authentication system.
• 📝 CRUD Operations: Full Create, Read, Update, and Delete support for server-side models.
• 📊 API Endpoints: RESTful APIs for data integration and external access.
• 🖥️ Web Interface: Responsive Bootstrap-based web views for interacting with data.
• 🛠️ Modular Architecture: Easy to extend and maintain, with clear separation of concerns.
• 📦 Requirements Management: Uses requirements.txt for Python dependencies.
• 🧪 Example Integrations: Example code for connecting to the API with Node.js/Express and fetching/displaying server data.

---

Tech Stack

• Python (95.5%): Main backend logic using Django.
• JavaScript (1.9%): Used for frontend interactivity (with Node.js/Express examples).
• HTML (1.7%): Templating and static pages.
• CSS (0.8%): Styling via Bootstrap and custom rules.
• PowerShell/Shell: For environment setup and scripting.
