Django is a powerful web framework that makes it easy to build complex, database-backed web applications. With Oracle Cloud, you can deploy your Django application quickly and easily. This tutorial will walk you through the steps of deploying a Django application on Oracle Cloud.
The first step in deploying your Django application on Oracle Cloud is to create an account. You can do this by visiting the Oracle Cloud sign-up page. Once you have created your account, you will be able to access the Oracle Cloud console.
The next step is to install the Oracle Cloud Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a tool that allows you to manage your Oracle Cloud resources from the command line. To install the CLI, follow the instructions on the Oracle Cloud documentation page. Once you have installed the CLI, you can use it to manage your Oracle Cloud resources.
Once you have installed the CLI, you can use it to create a compute instance. A compute instance is a virtual machine that will host your Django application. To create a compute instance, run the following command:
$ oci compute instance create --compartment-id
--availability-domain
--shape
--image-id
--subnet-id
--display-name

Once you have created your compute instance, you can use SSH to connect to it and install Python and Django. To install Python, run the following command:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-venv python3-pip -y
To install Django, run the following command:
$ pip3 install django==2.1.7
Once you have installed Python and Django, you can configure your application by creating a settings file and adding any necessary configuration options. For example, if you are using a database, you will need to add database connection information to your settings file.
Once your application is configured, you can deploy it using the Oracle Cloud CLI. To deploy your application, run the following command:
$ oci compute instance launch --compartment-id
--availability-domain
--shape
--image-id
--subnet-id
--display-name
--metadata '{"app": "django"}' --launch-configuration '{"command": "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"}' --wait-for-state RUNNING --max-wait 600 --wait --force --debug
This command will launch a compute instance with your Django application running on port 8000.
