Deployment

Installation

• Install python3, python3-pip and virtualenv
• Maybe create a user for the WSGI applications (e.g. pyofahrt)
• Clone this repository into a proper directory (e.g. /srv/pyofahrt)
• Create MySQL database and proper user
• Create the file pyofahrt/settings_secrets.py (ideally from pyofahrt/settings_secrets.template.txt) and fill it with the necessary credentials
• Create a virtualenv (e.g. virtualenv -p python3 venv)
• For serving WSGI applications, one can install uwsgi, create an ini file under /etc/uwsgi with a proper configuration and configure the webserver to use mod-proxy-uwsgi to make the application accessible. The webserver should also serve the static files. Make sure the application server (uwsgi) sets the proper environment variable for production settings (DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=pyofahrt.settings_production).
• Run all the relevant commands from the Updates section

Updates

When manually executing manage.py commands in production, do not forget to either pass the --settings pyofahrt.settings_production flag oder set it as an environment variable like export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=pyofahrt.settings_production.

To update an instance of pyofahrt, one can use the included update script script/update.

For production instances, one should use something like sudo -u pyofahrt script/update --prod.
