Deploy Django with Ansible

An opinionated Ansible deploy script for Ubuntu, Django, Postgres, Nginx and Gunicorn I use to deploy some of my django apps.

The configuration is a mix of solutions from different sources that work best for me.

Here are the articles I used to develop this deploy script:

• http://michal.karzynski.pl/blog/2013/06/09/django-nginx-gunicorn-virtualenv-supervisor/
• https://github.com/makaimc/sf-django
• https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-configure-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn
• http://www.stavros.io/posts/example-provisioning-and-deployment-ansible/

Getting Started

• Install Vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads) and VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/)

• Clone/download this repo

• Install Ansible (Recommended: Via pip. To do that create a virtualev and run pip install -r requirements.txt within this repo's root dir)

• Add an inventory file in the repo's root dir called hosts. To test with vagrant paste the following content into the file:

  [vagrant] default ansible_ssh_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_port=2222

• Add a deploy ssh key from your repo to let the app pull your code. Add a file called deploy_key to the directory /roles/app/files/

• tweak the /group_vars/all.yml file to comply with your app's setup

• Acivate your virtualenv (run source venv/bin/activate)

• From within this repo's root dir run vagrant up

Celery (optional)

I you want to use celery set install_celery: yes in group_vars/all.yml

TODO

• Add more documentation
