I wrote a project in django framework and I use the local DataBase SQLite, and I now want to upload it to the cloud so other people who work with me can access DataBase i.e. when I create a user then that user will exist with my co-workers.
Maybe someone has a guide on how to do this without modifying the DataBase so that I do not have to modify the rest of the code?

Ok i found the answer, what you should do is Connect Django and MongoDB Using Djongo
after all this you will have this link: for example!!!
mongodb srv://<username>:<password>@<atlas cluster>/<myFirstDatabase>?retryWrites=true&w=majority
copy this link and do the next setps:
- go back to your terminal and install this package:
pip install djongo
- and open settings.py
- change your DATEBASE to like this:
DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'djongo', 'NAME': 'your-db-name', 'CLIENT': { 'host': 'mongodb srv://<username>:<password>@<atlascluster>/<myFirstDatabase>?retryWrites=true&w=majority' } } }
- in 'host' paste the link you copy from monogodb site.
- in 'NAME' write your name of the database.
Now that we have the Django project (and app), you can create the collections in MongoDB using the commands:
python manage.py makemigrations <app-name>
python manage.py migrate
if you get error like 'django.db.utils.databaseerror' what you should to do is: It deletes all the files that are in the migrations folder that are in the apps you have created and after that run again the command above.
