Django Module

This module builds on a few great modules to provide a Django application stack with PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Nginx, Gunicorn, and Virtualenv. It has been primarily tested on Ubuntu Server 14.04 but should work with Debian as well.

Quick Start

Install packages for PostgreSQL, PostGIS, Nginx, and Virtualenv:

include django

Add a new Django application base. This creates an Nginx vhost config, fresh virtualenv, and a default directory structure under /var/www for deploying your application code:

django::app { 'examplesite': vhostname => 'examplesite.com' }

Note that Django will not be installed in the virtualenv by default as that is expected to be versioned and installed via a requirements.txt. Also, the db user password is blank by default and we are trusting local socket connections anyway. Finer grained control can be achieved with:

django::app { 'examplesite':
  vhostname => 'examplesite.com',
  staticdir => '/srv/http/examplesite.com/static/public',
  mediadir  => '/srv/http/examplesite.com/media',
  dbuser    => 'exampleuser',
  dbpass    => 'md5d16f1d3e443f9fa954b3455d6cf56fdb',
  django    => true,
}
