Deploying django application with gunicorn nginx mysql
Installing the Packages from the linux Repositories
To begin the process, you will download and install all of the items that you need from the Ubuntu repositories. Later you will use the Python package manager pip to install additional components.
First you need to update the local apt package index and then download and install the packages. The packages that you install depend on which version of Python your project will use.
If you are using Django with Python 3.
Step One: Update Packages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Step Two: Install and Create Virtualenv
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
sudo virtualenv /opt/myenv
Step Three: Install Django
pip install django
Step Four: Install MySQL
sudo apt-get install build-essential git mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev python-dev
Step Five: Install NGINX
sudo apt-get install nginx
Step Six: Install Gunicorn
source /opt/myenv/bin/activate
pip install gunicorn
Step Seven: Configure MySQL
Step Eight: Clone the Django Project
cd /opt/myenv
source /opt/myenv/bin/activate
git clone git-url myproject
cd /opt/myenv/myproject/myproject
Edit the settings.py file with your editor of choice:
vim settings.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'myproject',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '',
}
}
cd /opt/myenv/myproject
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py collectstatic
Step Nine: Configure Gunicorn
gunicorn_django --bind 162.243.36.4:8001
cd /opt/myenv
sudo nano gunicorn_config.py
Add the following contents to the file:
command = '/opt/myenv/bin/gunicorn'
pythonpath = '/opt/myenv/myproject'
bind = '127.0.0.1:8001'
user = 'nobody'
/opt/myenv/bin/gunicorn -c /opt/myenv/gunicorn_config.py myproject.wsgi
Step Ten: Configure NGINX
sudo service nginx start
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/myproject
Add following lines in nginx Configure
server {
server_name yourdomainorip.com;
access_log off;
location /static/ {
alias /opt/myenv/static/;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
add_header P3P 'CP="ALL DSP COR PSAa PSDa OUR NOR ONL UNI COM NAV"';
}
}
nginx restart
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/myproject
sudo rm default
sudo service nginx restart
