# Management commands overview
> Django management commands for FootyCollect maintenance and operations
FootyCollect includes several Django management commands for administrative tasks, bulk operations, and system maintenance.
## Available commands
Bulk import collections from Football Kit Archive
Remove orphaned photo files from storage
Configure periodic Celery tasks
Fetch and cache kits for homepage display
Migrate photos from local to remote storage
## Basic usage
All management commands follow Django's standard pattern:
```bash theme={null}
python manage.py [arguments] [options]
```
### Common options
Most commands support these common options:
* `--dry-run` - Preview actions without making changes
* `--verbose` - Show detailed output
* `--help` - Display command help
## When to use management commands
Use `populate_user_collection` to import collections from Football Kit Archive for testing or migrating data.
Use `cleanup_orphaned_photos` to remove photo files that are no longer referenced in the database, freeing up storage space.
Use `setup_beat_schedule` after deployment to configure automatic cleanup tasks that run on a schedule.
## Running in production
Always use `--dry-run` first to preview changes before running commands in production.
### Docker deployment
Run commands in the Django container:
```bash theme={null}
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml exec django python manage.py
```
### Bare metal deployment
Activate the virtual environment first:
```bash theme={null}
cd /var/www/footycollect
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py
```
## Monitoring command execution
Commands log to Django's standard logging system. Check logs for detailed execution information:
```bash theme={null}
# Docker
docker compose logs django
# Systemd
journalctl -u gunicorn -f
```
