django-deploy
=============

Ansible role to deploy a Django app to Plesk.

Add the role `django-deploy`.

Required variables
------------------

(passed as extra variables):

- `project`: **Django project name**, will also be used as virtualenv name.

Optional variables
------------------

(passed as extra variables):

- `loaddata`: Set to `true` in order to load data from `conf.data`.
- `flush`: Set to `true` in order to flush data before `loaddata`. Depends on `loaddata` variable to be `true`.
- `newrelic`: New Relic license key. Omit to skip New Relic. Recommended to add a default in playbook.
- `exclude`: Additional pattern to exclude from sync, eg. `media/`.
- `loglevel`: Explicitly define an Apache log level, eg. `loglevel=info`.

Required Configuration variables
--------------------------------

(better to keep in configuration file as shown in examples):

- `conf`: A dictionary to help organize variables, containing:
- `conf.app_name`: The application name (human description), used in New Relic too.
- `conf.domain_name`: Domain name to be used in Apache conf. Omit to skip configure Apache in Plesk.
- `conf.dev_path`: The local path of the project, eg ~/workspace/python/myproject.
- `conf.host_path`: The remote path, where the wsgi index script lies, eg /var/www/vhosts/subscription/domain.
- `conf.host_user`: The remote user to whom to transfer ownership after operations.
- `conf.vhost_conf_path`: The remote path, where the apache configuration override (`vhost.conf`) is located.

Optional Configuration variables
--------------------------------

- `conf.name`: The application name (machine name), the same as the Python app. Default: `{{ project }}`
- `conf.python_version`: The python version to install (major.minor), default: `3.5`.
- `conf.virtualenv_dir`: Virtualenvs home directory, default to vars' respective option.
- `conf.compile_msgs`: Set to `true` in order to compile i18n messages.
- `conf.memcached`: Set to `true` in order to clear cache.
- `conf.data`: A list of the dump files to load data from, eg `[project, auth]`, omit to skip loaddata.
Depends on `loaddata` variable to be `true`.
- `conf.limit_request_body`: The maximum upload size allowed to Apache. Default: 10MB.

[WSGI](http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/configuration-directives/WSGIDaemonProcess.html)

- `conf.wsgi_script`: The wsgi script, default: `index.wsgi`.
- `conf.wsgi_threads`: If set mod_wsgi runs in daemon mode (**recommended** 3-25).

The following are used only for daemon mode:

- `conf.wsgi_processes`: If set mod_wsgi runs in multi-process mode (integer).
- `conf.wsgi_inactivity_timeout`: Set only for small traffic sites to reset process and reclaim memory (eg. 300).
- `conf.wsgi_max_requests`: Set to let process restart after n seconds. Useful if process memory grows large.
- `conf.wsgi_restart_interval`: Similar to the above. Only available for mod_wsgi>=v4.5.12.
- `conf.wsgi_graceful_timeout`: If any of the above two are set, the number of seconds to expect no requests to restart.
- `conf.wsgi_queue_timeout`: If large request queues, drop requests after that many seconds.

Other default variables
-----------------------

- `ansible_user_id`: The user id with access to mysql and mysql database.
- `virtualenv_dir`: Virtualenvs home directory. Set to `false` to disable virtualenv. Default: `/var/virtualenvs`.
- `django_settings`: The Django settings module (.py) to run manage.py from, default: `settings_live`.
- `plesk_server_group`: Plesk server group, default: `psaserv`.
- `plesk_account_group`: Plesk account group, default: `psacln`.
- `sync_opts`: Additional options for rsync. Default: exclude `.*`.

Playbook examples

8. Open ownership

Open the target directory ownership to allow file copy.

9. Build sync options

Combine the default `sync_opts` variable with the `exclude` option.
