Django

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview

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 image delivers a complete, production-grade Django runtime, so a Python web application server is running within minutes of launch with no package installation, virtualenv setup, database provisioning or reverse-proxy wiring required.

What Is Included

Django installed in an isolated Python 3.12 virtualenv at /opt/django/venv. gunicorn as the WSGI application server, bound to a Unix socket and managed by systemd. nginx as the reverse proxy on TCP 80, serving static and media files directly. PostgreSQL as the default database, with the psycopg driver. A clean cloudimg starter Django project at /opt/django/cloudimg the customer customizes or replaces with their own application code.

Dedicated Storage Tiers

The PostgreSQL data directory and the Django application tier live on separate, independently resizable EBS volumes. The database can be grown without disturbing the application code, and neither tier shares the operating system root volume.

Per-Instance Credentials On First Boot

A one-shot systemd service rotates every secret at the first boot of every instance. The Django SECRET_KEY, the PostgreSQL role password and a Django admin superuser password are all freshly generated. ALLOWED_HOSTS is pre-populated with the instance public IP. The rotated credentials are written to /stage/scripts/django-credentials.log with mode 0600.

Ready To Use

The Django admin UI is reachable on http:///admin/ the moment the instance is healthy. Connect over SSH, drop a Django app into /opt/django/cloudimg, run python manage.py migrate, and ship. The cloudimg starter project ships with the Django admin enabled and a core app, so customers see a populated admin index out of the box.
