I have successfully developed a Django app. The requirement is to deploy the app over an on-premise server. The application is accessible on the intranet using the development environment. Is any web server is preferred to deploy this application locally (or) should I leave the terminal running the server as it is so that the users can access the application as they are already doing it? I am using a unix server.
If the question is actually on deployment model, I suggest to take a look at django docs on deployment. Depending on load, uWSGI/Gunicorn [+ nginx] will be good choice.
Independent of tools you use, no need to leave running terminal on your server. There's a lot of tools to "daemonize" processes. Simplest would be supervisor

I have a django web application and normally, it works on AWS but one of our customers wants to use this web application on localhost because of the security. Also he wants to use this application with more than one computer on the same host. How to make a roadmap for that without sharing source code?
I am new to Python development. I am building a test Python app and already deployed into a web server and accessing it through public IP. Now I have updated the source(that is added some more models and templates), Now I want my public IP under port 80 should show updated code.
How do I do this?
if you have used any sort of version control, it's just commit and push/pull to the server.
if not, you have to copy the code, paste it in the server, restart the application and it work's with new code.
best approach is make a service, deploy the code with git version control, run the service and you are good to go. service will start automatically in case of system-restart and such.
I want to host my Django 1.10 web application on WHM(VPS). for that i have installed Django and another necessary tools on WHM(VPS) by ssh login. and i also have uploaded my Django application code through cpanel in public_html directory.
When i run python manage.py runserver <ip_address:8000> from ssh terminal, i am able to access that application. but when i close the ssh terminal, it terminates all the running process. so could not access application after that.
So, Is there any way that without running python manage.py script i can access Django application?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Django comes with a built-in development server, it's not really meant to be used when deploying to a remote VPS.
There are some great resources to help you along, but what you're likely going to want to do is deploy your app on a stack using gunicorn or uwsgi as an application server and a web server like Nginx or apache 2 as a reverse proxy.
I personally use Nginx and uwsgi.
There are some great resources explaining how to deploy a Django server. Have a look at this one from digital ocean, it was a great help when I needed to set up a production server correctly: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04
best of luck with it!
I am new to Flask Web with Python. I developed a simple Flask with Pycharm. Now I want to deploy it on my college server. I remember when I develop php web app I used to copy it to www folder in var and run it from there.
Can someone explain me how do I deploy python web app in Linux production server.
First, you need to figure out what your server provides from its sysadmin. There are tens of ways to do this, and all of them have different answers.
Given that you have used php on the system before, I'll assume you are using Apache httpd.
First, you would need to have a wsgi provider installed (e.g. mod_wsgi) , and then wire your application into the wsgi provider.
See the mod_wsgi page and flask docs for more information on how to precisely do this.
https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/
http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/deploying/
Another option is to have python bring its own webserver and optionally have a proxy redirect / load balance.
What I want to know are actually 2 things.
Part 1:
I have a developed source code for an application in python that uses Django framework.
What I want is to be able to run the code on a developer machine and see the result. What do I need for it?
(my guesses):
Python development enironment (Eclipse/PyDev/Aptana Studio 3 seem to be the better ones for windows not sure linux yet),
I also have a postgre database already setup (I know there's a file where I have to specify connection information)
- something installed from django or would this be already included in the code that I have?
Part II:
I also want to make a dev server accessible through internet.
- this is the major part of the question and the most important. How do I publish the app?
- I have a linux machine that I would do this on, but unsure of all the things I need. Apache server?
To answer your questions:
What you need: A list of requirements and instructions to get started with Django is available here: http://djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter02/.
Database: that chapter also includes a section on configuring access to your database, with a specific section on postgreSQL.
Dev server: To start a basic development server, see this tutorial section
Deploying django (production): For instructions on how to deploy Django for production, see chapter on deploying Django.
Publishing on internet: as for making your dev server accessible through the internet, ask on https://serverfault.com/. Make sure you provide more information about your network setup, what you've tried, what isn't working, etc. (Briefly, you need to make sure that the host you are running your server on is on a publicly accessible IP, or has port 80 forwarded to it from such a host. If in doubt, speak to your sys/network admin if you have one. Or use a django hosting service such as those listed on http://djangohosting.com)
IDE : Regarding IDE, it's down to personal preference. What you mentioned are fine and can run on Linux too.
As a first step, I suggest you follow the tutorial which guides you through the process of starting a development server and developing a basic app.
Even if your goal is to deploy an existing app, the tutorial will give you an idea of how the different components work together (apps, models, urls, templates, etc) which will help with debugging when something goes wrong with your deployment.
Good luck.
You need Python, Django, a WSGI container (e.g. mod_wsgi, uWSGI, Paste Deploy), and a database server. You make the Django project available as a WSGI app, bound to the appropriate interface on the machine.
