Fix user Authentication error when on localhost

[NyuydineBill]

After setting up the project on your local machine, you will realize that, you need to be logged in before add a project or any other feature. Now as a sample, it should work like this https://release-monitoring.org/.
But on the contrary you will receive several errors, and get this message on terminal console

Requirements

• Configure third party packages and allow local server urls
• Fix the issue regarding the error on terminal

This will enable contributors to access the project and fix the issues they are working on

Could you try running it in vagrant, so we can remove the possibility that it's something on your machine. See documentation for instructions.

[NyuydineBill]

@Zlopez I am trying to set-up vagrant environment and getting this, I have tried resolving it but, its not working

Also receiving errors related to Unit files not exist

[Zlopez]

Did you encountered any error when running vagrant up ?
I'm trying to deploy it on my machine and it's failing for me.

Yes I kept receiving errors and that was why I used Python virtualenv
it opens the project on python venv, but then user can't authenticate and log in while on local environment

[Freedisch]

@NyuydineBill, I had the same issue with Vagrant, but I was able to run the project with docker, u should try running the project with docker it's pretty straight forward just have to run make up I believe that will work

OKay @Freedisch Thanks for reaching out
I finally resolved the issue, I have used python venv. The directions to anyone using Python virtual env and facing similar problem are in a PR just created

[Zlopez]

I'm trying to solve the error when setting up dev env. It should be solved soon.

[Zlopez]

Fixed the vagrant environment for Anitya with one bug I encountered during login.

[Zlopez]

And I fixed the container dev environment as well. PR is here.
