django-server-config

django-server-config is a Django app useful for deploy server installation.

- Adds management command to make configs for your project. Now it can generate config for lighttpd, logrotate, monit and deploy scripts.
- Automatically recognizes media directories in 3-party applications and takes them into account.

Installation:

In settings.py:

1. Put config to your INSTALLED_APPS.

2. Set domain names for your project

 CONFIG_SITES = ['www.project-name.com', ]

3. Domains for which you want redirects to your site

 CONFIG_REDIRECTS = ['project-name.com', ]

4. Set path to media for unusual 3-party application

 CONFIG_APP_MEDIA = {
 'application-name': [
 ('media-root', 'media-url', ),
 ]
 }

Media folders with same name as application modulde will be added automatically. For example, in tinymce module media files

tinymce/
 media/
 tinymce/
 js/tinymce.js
 css/style.css

will be available at url

 /media/tinymce/js/tinymce.js /media/tinymce/css/style.js

In urls.py:

5. Add config to urls.py for serve static files in debug mode. Add it BEFORE django.views.static.serve

 if settings.DEBUG:
 urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^', include('config.urls')))

In buildout.cfg:

6. If you are using zc.buildout, you can add to your parts make-config to make config files automaticaly:

 [make-config]
 recipe = iw.recipe.cmd
 on_install = true
 on_update = true
 cmds = sudo rm -f bin/init.d bin/lighttpd bin/logrotate bin/monit bin/*.py
 bin/django make_config init.d > bin/init.d
 bin/django make_config lighttpd > bin/lighttpd
 bin/django make_config logrotate > bin/logrotate
 bin/django make_config monit > bin/monit

 bin/django make_config install.py > bin/install.py
 bin/django make_config uninstall.py > bin/uninstall.py
 bin/django make_config enable.py > bin/enable.py
 bin/django make_config disable.py > bin/disable.py

 sudo chown root:root bin/*
 sudo chmod ug=rw,o=r bin/*
 sudo chmod ug=rwx,o=rx bin/init.d bin/django bin/buildout
 echo Configs were saved to "bin/"

Staticfiles support

Since 0.1.1 server-config supports django.contrib.staticfiles and staticfiles apps. If one of them present in INSTALLED_APPS, config for webserver will be generated with appropriate rewrite rule.

If staticfiles is used there is no need to include config.urls in urlconf.py. On the other hand, probably you will want to include staticfiles_urlpatterns() from staticfiles app (see: django documentation

 about it)

 from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
 urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

What is new in this release:

• Emergency lighttpd config fix (staticfiles didn't work), don't use v0.1.1!

What is new in version 0.1.1:

• Staticfiles support added

Requirements:

• Python
• Django
