Django 5.2 LTS preinstalled for AWS. The open source Python web framework with gunicorn, nginx and PostgreSQL 16 on Ubuntu 24.04, ready on first boot for the customer to drop in their own app. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Django by cloudimg
Django is the leading open source Python web framework, the batteries included framework that powers Instagram, Mozilla, Pinterest, the Washington Post and tens of thousands of production sites. This Amazon Machine Image delivers a complete production grade Django runtime, so a Python web application server is running within minutes of launch with no package installation or database provisioning required.
## Application Stack
The image runs Django 5.2 LTS in an isolated Python 3.12 virtualenv, with gunicorn 23 as the WSGI application server behind nginx on TCP 80 and PostgreSQL 16 as the default database. A clean cloudimg starter Django project ships pre configured, ready for the customer to customize or replace with their own application. Application and database tiers each live on a dedicated resizable volume.
## Per Instance Credentials On First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service rotates every secret. The Django SECRET_KEY, the PostgreSQL role password and a Django admin superuser are all freshly generated and unique to the instance. ALLOWED_HOSTS is populated with the instance public IP and the rotated credentials are written to a root only file.
## Ready To Use
The Django admin UI is reachable the moment the instance is healthy. SSH in, drop a Django app into the starter project directory, run python manage.py migrate, and ship.
## cloudimg Support
