Create a project structure (Not need to run it)

django-admin startproject chat_project
cd chat_project
django-admin startapp account

Build and run the app

Using make command

The easiest way to setup, build and run a full clean environment is by calling make:

For Development server:

make setup
make run

Go to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/

For Production server:

make setup prod=on
make run prod=on

Go to: http://<your_server_ip>:80/

All the steps used in Makefile described below

Setup

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Build

source venv/bin/activate
cd chat_project
python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate

Create an admin account (only if needed)

python manage.py createsuperuser --username=luk6xff [email protected]
$ password: ...

Run a development server

Modify DEBUG flag from: chat_project/chat_project/settings.py

DEBUG = True

Run the server

python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8000

Go to a website: http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Run a production server

Modify DEBUG flag from: chat_project/chat_project/settings.py

DEBUG = False

Test if gunicorn works

gunicorn chat_project.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:80

Go to a website http://0.0.0.0:80/ and see if it is accessible.

First you need to install nginx server

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install nginx
sudo rm -rf /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
sudo rm -rf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
touch /etc/nginx/sites-available/chat_project && cp chat_project/chat_project_nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/chat_project
mkdir -p chat_project/logs && touch chat_project/logs/nginx-access.log

sudo ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/chat_project /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

Modify /etc/nginx/nginx.conf as shown below:

user root www-data

Check if created configuratin does not contain any bugs by typing:

sudo nginx -t

Collect all the static files

python manage.py collectstatic

Modify a gunicorn run command to be able to talk to Nginx:

pkill gunicorn
chmod a+x run_gunicorn.sh && ./run_gunicorn.sh

or:

gunicorn --daemon --workers=3 --bind unix:/tmp/chat_project.sock chat_project.wsgi

Restart Nginx:

systemctl restart nginx

Go to: http://<your_server_ip>:80/
