PRODUCTION

Heroku:

Hide Secrets:

You can avoid having your secrets in the github repository by adding them directly to Heroku as constants using the following:

$ heroku config:set SECRET_KEY=

Any constant created this way can be captured by using

  os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY')

For development, I recommend creating a 'secret_settings.py' file and adding it to your .gitignore. Then if settings_secrets.py exists import it to the settings, otherwise use the 'os.environ.get('')'

Push code:

$ git push heroku master

Migrate changes:

$ heroku run python manage.py migrate

Add domains:

$ heroku domains:add www.joshua-raanan.com -a joshua-raanan-professional $ heroku domains:add joshua-raanan.com -a joshua-raanan-professional

Heroku will then assign the URL a dns target for each of your domains. You can find this on the command line immediately after running the command, or on the application's heroku page. The target should have herokudns.com in it.

Go to Hover and under the DNS tab add 2 new settings:

Hover -> DNS TYPE: CNAME HOST: www VALUE:

Hover -> DNS TYPE: CNAME HOST: @ VALUE:

Domain Forwarding

I recommend forwarding the domain without www. to the domain with www.. To do this, go to Hover and click Forwards. Add a Forward:

Domain: joshua-raanan.com Select a Forward Type: joshua-raanan.com Forwarding To: www.joshua-raanan.com

Add SSL:

Heroku is capable of handling SSL for you. However, to do so you will need to upgrade the application to "hobby" which which is not free. To do this go into the website's Heroku page, click "Resources->"Change Dyno Type" and select "hobby." Then simply use the command:

$ heroku certs:auto:enable

Add 'django-secure' to the requirements.txt, and add 'djangosecure' to INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py. Also make sure that the MIDDLEWARE includes 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware'. Finally add the setting 'SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True'

SSH into server:

$ heroku ps:exec --dyno=web.1

Database:

This site uses Postgresql. The database settings on the server, which are needed in the settings.py file, are accessible via the Heroku constant 'DATABASE_URL' and can be seen with the command:

$heroku config:get DATABASE_URL -a joshua-raanan-professional

This returns a uri broken down into:

postgres://username:password@host:port/name

However, in django this can be parsed with the dj-database-url package. Add this to the requirements.txt and add the following to the settings.py. Which consists of Database default (used for development), and then overriding that for production.

  import dj_database_url
  DATABASES = {}
  DATABASES['default'] =  dj_database_url.config()
  DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] = 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'

Python Version

Specify the version of python to use when deploying in the runtime.txt file.

Media

In production the uploaded images are stored in AWS. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/s3#pass-through-uploads https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/s3-upload-python https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2017/08/01/how-to-setup-amazon-s3-in-a-django-project.html

Locally the uploaded images are stored in the media/ folder

DEVELOPMENT

Setup

Provide Required Values

Create a file called development_settings.py with the following contents:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

SECRET_KEY = "ThisIsntTheActualSecretKey"

The actual secret key is stored on Heroku, but the existence of this file will cause django to run the site using development settings.

Database

SETUP POSGRES DATABASE AND SERVER

  ethel$ sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
  ethel$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libpq-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib
  ethel$ sudo su - postgres
  postgres$ psql
  postgres# CREATE DATABASE professional;
  postgres# CREATE USER [USER] WITH PASSWORD '[PASSWORD]';
  postgres# ALTER ROLE [USER] SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
  postgres# ALTER ROLE [USER] SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
  postgres# ALTER ROLE [USER] SET timezone TO 'UTC';
  postgres# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE [DATABASE] TO [USER];
  \q
  exit
