+* Notes
+** Django projects
+For running Django projects in the background, add an environment file to ~/.local/etc/project.env with contents like:
+
+#+begin_src shell
+DJANGO_PATH="/home/user/src/project"
+DJANGO_PORT=8000
+#+end_src
+
+Then enable now the project:
+
+#+begin_src shell
+sysu enable --now django@project
+#+end_src
