Version 1.4. Successfully tested on Ubuntu 21.04
Spin up a production grade Django environment without breaking a sweat!
Let's face it, setting up a production Django stack can be time consuming. No one likes nginx 502 Bad Gateway errors. This script relieves that pain, delivering a ready to go Supervisor, Guincorn, Nginx, Django, Postgres stack. After running the script, you'll have a fully functioning Django environment. All it requires is a few configuration variables set at the top of the script. Latest version now includes certbot by default.
- Spin up an instance of Ubuntu, on Linode, Google Cloud, AWS, or Digital Ocean.
- Login as root, clone or paste djangogo.sh into your favorite server side editor.
- Edit the configuration variables at the top of the script and save the file:
project_name="name"
project_password="password"
project_ip="000.000.000.000"
project_domain="domain.com www.domain.com"
- Run the script as root with:
chmod +x djangogo.sh; ./djangogo.sh - Grab your favorite beverage, take a sip, browse to your IP address on completion.
Your django app & project will reside in:
/home/project_name/project_name/
Witin /home/project_name there are the following folders:
bin
etc
project_name
include
lib
lib64
logs
pyvenv.cfg
run
share
These folders are mostly from the virtual environment.
To activate your virtualenv:
source /home/project_name/bin/activate
ssh root@yourserver.com
su project_name
cd ~
source bin/activate
cd project_name
git pull origin master
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic
sudo supervisorctl restart project_name
When software is being upgraded, you may be asked a few questions. The defaults will work just fine. I've seen this happen with Grub. Also, you may be asked to enter in a password and during the user account creation step. If you want to install an SSL certificate, you'll need to point your domain to your IP then run sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com -d www.yourdomain.com
Nginx needs to be able to read the static folder. You can do this by adding the www-data user to the group that your project user is in.
sudo usermod -a -G your_user www-data
Then restart nginx.
