Rattail Manual
==============

This is "the reference manual" for Rattail, intended primarily for developers.
It assumes the reader is involved with the creation, customization and/or
maintenance of a Poser/Rattail app.  It tries to explain the concepts involved
and hopefully tie them all together.

If you prefer step-by-step instructions for creating your own app then see also
the `Rattail Tutorial`_.

.. _Rattail Tutorial: https://rattailproject.org/docs/rattail-tutorial/

This manual is primarily organized around the possible "layers" of a
Poser/Rattail app:

* :doc:`base/index` - general app install, command line, plus filemon etc.
* :doc:`data/index` - when a DB or data import/export come into it
* :doc:`web/index` - all things web
* :doc:`luigi/index` - using Luigi for better overnight automation
* :doc:`deploy/index` - deals with production deployment
* :doc:`backup/index` - backing up the production system

Please see `https://rattailproject.org/docs/rattail-manual/
