Get project buildable again & release a new version

I haven’t touched the code here in years, but I see a modest number of folks still trying to do new things with the project – which is cool.

The code is starting to bit rot, however, which is less cool: Python 2 ie EOL, Django has had numerous releases (including several security updates), and many other lesser dependencies have developed issues too.

I started some work a few years back in the v1.3-dev branch to delete some cruft. I think successfully closing this issue would mean some combination of:

• Update to Django 2 and Python 2
• Delete clutter in the code, especially that which interferes with setup
• Clean up the public website, at least to reflect modern hardware options & setup instructions
• (Maybe) publish official docker images
• Release v1.3

Opening this issue to see if there’s some interest out there. I would love to have some help, know there are also a few forks with some activity (what’s up @johnnyruz !), so please chime in if interested and able to help.

Chiming in if you need a hand or a tester, I’ve been packing the old server into Home Assistant containers for my setup.
