An architecture for maintaining multiple settings files in Django
django-config is an easy way to maintain multiple configurations for django. It relies on the concept of having a shared configuration file (base) and a per user/ server custom configuration file (dev1/ dev2/ local/ staging). settings.py combines the base & custom configuration and loads it up.
- Include the djangoconfig application in your django application set.
- Create a directory named 'config' at the root directory of your project. 'config' directory will contain your global settings file: 'base.py' & all custom configuration file e.g. 'local.py'.
- Overwrite 'manage.py' & 'settings.py' with the files supplied with django-config
- Add new settings to your custom settings file.
- Override base settings in custom settings file.
- Whenever you run manage.py, select your configuration identifier
