Django is a powerful web framework that allows developers to quickly create and deploy applications. It is open source and free to use, making it an ideal choice for many developers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to deploy Django on CloudSigma Cloud.
The first step in deploying Django on CloudSigma Cloud is to create an account. To do this, go to CloudSigma's website and click the "Sign Up" button. You will then be asked to provide your email address and a password. Once you have done this, you will be able to log in and access your account.
Once you have created your account, you can set up your server. To do this, log in to your account and click the "Create Server" button. You will then be asked to select the type of server you want to create. Select the "Ubuntu 18.04" option and click the "Create Server" button.
Once your server is set up, you can install Python and Django. To do this, log in to your server via SSH using the command below:
ssh root@[server_ip_address]
Once logged in, run the following commands to install Python 3 and pip:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
Once Python 3 and pip are installed, run the following command to install Django:
sudo pip3 install django
Once Python and Django are installed, you need to configure your server for Django. To do this, edit the Apache configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/django_project/django_project/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /var/www/html/django_project
Alias /static /var/www/html/django_project/static
Alias /media /var/www/html/django_project/media
<Directory /var/www/html/django_project>
Require all granted
<Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html>
Require all granted
<Directory>
<Directory /var/www>
Require all granted
<Directory>
Save the file and exit.
Now that your server is configured for Django, you can deploy your application. To do this, create a new directory for your project by running the following command:
mkdir -p /var/www/html/django_project
Next, copy your application files into this directory using SCP or SFTP.
Once your application is deployed, you can test it by visiting its URL in a web browser. If everything is working correctly, you should see your application running on CloudSigma Cloud.
