# Ansible-Django

Ansible playbooks used to deploy a Django project on a remote server. This playbook assumes the remote server to be debian based. I used it to deploy [https://github.com/pattu777/LearningDjango](https://github.com/pattu777/LearningDjango) project on a Digital Ocean droplet. 

Also checkout my post [http://www.chinmayapatanaik.com/2016/06/25/Ansible-Django/](http://www.chinmayapatanaik.com/2016/06/25/Ansible-Django/) for more detailed description.

# Prerequisites

* Ansible installed on your local system.

* Passwordless setup for a user with sudo privilleges.

* A Django project copied onto the remote server. 

* For simplicity I am using SQLite as my back-end database.

* A custom domain pointing to your cloud server(Optional). This domain name is used while setting up Nginx.

# Tasks

* Install necessary packages.

  * System packages

  * Python packages

* Setup Django.

  * Create a virtualenv.

  * Install packages from requirements.txt file.

  * Create db models.

  * Collect static files.

* Setup Gunicorn.

  * Customize the conf file.

  * Copy the gunicorn.conf file to the remote server.

  * Restart gunicorn server.

* Setup Nginx.

  * Customize the Nginx conf file.

  * Copy the Nginx config file to the remote server.

  * Restart Nginx server.

# Developing

Clone the repo. Make sure the prerequisities are met. 

* Modify ansible.cfg.

* Provide IP address in hosts file.

Finally run the playbook as shown below.

```bash

$ git clone --recursive [email protected]:pattu777/Ansible-Django.git

$ cd Ansible-Django

$ ansible-playbook -s deploy.yml

```

# TODO

* A new role for setting up data stores like MySQL, Postgres etc.

* Check how to run the playbook in sudo mode through ansible.cfg 

* Clone a Git repository instead of assuming it's already present on the remote server

Finally go to your domain and see your django app working.
