Django Deployement Tools

Tools to help deploy a django application.

INSTALLATION:

pip install Django-Deployment-Tools

CONFIGURATION:

Add 'django_deploy_tools', in your settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

Add a STATIC_ROOT variable in your django settings.py file.

See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/settings/#static-files, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/settings/#static-root and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/static-files/ for more details.

USAGE:

First collect static files:

python manage.py collectstatic

If you have django-compressor (optional) run:

python manage.py compress

(see https://django-compressor.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ for more details).

Then, create a wsgi file:

python manage.py make_sgi --wsgi --out path/to/wsgi_file

And then generate an apache configuration file:

python manage.py make_apache_conf --wsgi path/to/wsgi_file --sll --out /path/to/apache_conf_file

For more information check :

python manage.py make_apache_conf -h

Especially to define the proper ssl certificates. If not specified when creating the configuration file you will have to edit the generated apache configuration.
