This is a Django project running correctly.
Here is a list of important commands that you will need to run.
This will run the production service for the project, we are using waitress instead of
gunicorn as we are running on a Windows machine. We are including both libraries so that
it can be ran on a linux machine.
If you wish to run it on a windows system execute the following command.
waitress-serve --call django.core.wsgi:get_wsgi_application
If you wish to run it on a linux system execute the following command.
gunicorn --worker-tmp-dir /dev/shm django_k8s.wsgi:application
Here are the commands to setup migrations and create superusers for the project.
Local change for the database.
python manage.py makemigrations
To migrate the database after making the local migrations.
python manage.py migrate --noinput
Create superuser for the project and in the database.
python manage.py createsuperuser --email YOUR_EMAIL --noinput
If you wish to set the kubernetes environment variable to access the cluster deployed on Digital Ocean run the following command.
$Env:KUBECONFIG="$HOME\PycharmProjects\django_k8s\.kube\kubeconfig.yaml"
We can also set this up on our local code editor depending on which one we are using.
In order to access and go inside any pod this is the command which you would need to execute.
kubectl exec -it [name_of_pod] -- /bin/bash
Then activate the virtual environment inside the pod.
source /opt/venv/bin/activate
You will need to create a secret key, with kubernetes secrets
kubectl create secret generic django-k8s-web-prod-env --from-env-file=web/.env.prod
