Django AdminLTE Boilerplate: Start Your Project Faster

Save time on your Django projects with our pre-configured boilerplate featuring AdminLTE , a custom user model, and integrated user management. Perfect for developers building admin dashboards quickly

Hi, Welcome 🙂

Are you a Django developer looking to create a web application with a professional admin interface? Our Django Boilerplate with AdminLTE 4 is here to help you get started quickly and easily.
This boilerplate combines Django, a powerful Python web framework, with AdminLTE 4, a modern and responsive admin dashboard template.
Together, they provide a solid foundation for your projects, letting you focus on building what makes your application unique.
Setting up a Django project with an admin interface and user management can take hours—or even days.
With this boilerplate, you skip the repetitive setup work and jump straight into development.
Whether you’re working on a personal project, a client job, or a team application, this tool can help you save time and effort.

What You Get: Key Features

This boilerplate comes with practical features designed to simplify your development process. Here’s what’s included and why each part matters:
9

Custom User Model

Django’s default user model works well for basic projects, but many applications need more flexibility—like adding extra fields or changing how authentication works. This boilerplate includes a custom user model that you can easily adapt to your needs. Instead of building it from scratch, you start with a ready-to-use setup that saves you time and follows Django’s best practices.
9

Integrated User Management

Managing users is a core part of most web applications. Our boilerplate includes an accounts app fully integrated with AdminLTE 4, giving you:
  • Registration: Let users sign up with a clean, styled form.
  • Login and Logout: Securely handle user sessions.
  • Reset Password: Allow users to recover their accounts.
  • Change Password: Give users control over their security.
  • Email Activation: Verify user emails for added security.
These features come with templates that match AdminLTE 4’s design, so your application looks consistent and professional without extra styling work.
9

Django Messages with Bootstrap 5 Toasts

Communication with users—like showing success messages or alerts—is made easy with Django’s messaging system. This boilerplate enhances it by integrating with Bootstrap 5 toasts. These are small, modern pop-up notifications that appear without interrupting the user’s experience. You won’t need to design or code this yourself—it’s already set up and ready to use.
9

Optional Asynchronous Email Sending

Sending emails, like activation links, can slow down your application if done directly. This boilerplate offers an optional setup with Celery and Redis to handle email sending in the background. This keeps your app fast and responsive, especially for users waiting on confirmation emails. You can enable this feature if you need it or keep things simple without it—the choice is yours.

Comprehensive Documentation

No one wants to guess how to use a new tool. That’s why we’ve included detailed documentation covering:
  • How to install and set up the boilerplate.
  • Ways to configure the custom user model or email settings.
  • Steps to extend or modify the features.
  • Tips for adding your own apps to the project.
The documentation is there to guide you, making it easier to adapt the boilerplate to your specific project.

How It Saves You Time

Starting a Django project from scratch involves a lot of steps. You might need to:


  • Set up the project structure and install dependencies.
  • Download and integrate a template like AdminLTE 4 with Django.
  • Create a custom user model if the default one isn’t enough.
  • Build views, forms, and templates for registration, login, and password management.
  • Style everything to look good and work across devices.
  • Connect Django’s messaging system to a notification style.
  • Set up tools like Celery and Redis for email tasks, if needed.


Each step takes time and effort. For example, integrating AdminLTE 4 means adjusting static files, updating templates, and testing the layout. User management requires writing secure code and designing forms that fit the admin theme. Doing all this manually could take days, especially if you’re new to some of these tools.
With this boilerplate, these tasks are already done. You get:


  • A project structure with AdminLTE 4 fully integrated.
  • A custom user model you can tweak instead of build.
  • Ready-made user management features with matching templates.
  • Messages styled with Bootstrap 5 toasts.
  • An optional Celery and Redis setup for emails.


This means you can go from downloading the boilerplate to working on your app’s unique features in minutes—not days. It’s a shortcut that lets you focus on what matters most: building your application.
