This blog is about how to deploy a Django application by using uwsgi Nginx.
Dependency needed:
Ubuntu 18.04
Python 3
Django > 2
Nginx
Install required packages using apt
sudo apt install nginx
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-pip
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev
Let’s assume you already know python virtual environment and you already install in your pc.
Install required packages using pip
pip install django
pip install uwsgi
you have successfully installed the library in your pc now we can start the deployment.
Creating a Django project
django-admin startproject mysite
Test your Django project.
make sure that your mysite project works:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
And if that works, run it using uWSGI:
uwsgi --http :8000 --module mysite.wsgi
Testing is done, now our application will run in demon mode.
create sock file and log with proper permission
touch /tmp/mysite.sock
touch /var/log/mysite.log
create a django_uwsgi.ini in the project root directory.
[uwsgi]
# Django-related settings
# the base directory (full path)
chdir=/var/www/html/mysite
# Django's wsgi file
module=mysite.wsgi
# the virtualenv (full path)
home=/root/envDjango
# process-related settings
# master
master = true
# maximum number of worker processes
processes = 10
# the socket (use the full path to be safe
socket = /tmp/mysite.sock
# ... with appropriate permissions - may be needed
#chmod-socket = 666
#uid = www-data
#gid = www-data
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=bdalljob.settings
# clear environment on exit
vacuum = true
# for graceful reloading project
pidfile=./pid_5000.pid
# uwsgi log write in this location
daemonize=/var/log/mysite.log
#max-requests = 5000
Run application, make sure you are in the project root directory
uwsgi --ini uwsgi.ini
make sure uWSGI is up
ps axu | grep uwsgi
reload uwsgi
uwsgi --reload pid_5000.pid
stop uWsgi
uwsgi --stop pid_5000.pid
Now we will configure Nginx, create mysite conf
touch /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.conf
open mysite by using nano mysite.conf add below configuration
server {
listen 80;
server_name mysite.com;
charset utf-8;
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/mysite.sock;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
}
}
make available your conf in Nginx sites enable
sudo ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite.conf
restart Nginx
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
now you can check mysite.com by using it in the host file.
