Development with Python

setuid elspeth

chdir /home/elspeth/sites/SITENAME/source

exec

../virtualenv/bin/gunicorn

--bind unix:/tmp/SITENAME.socket

superlists.

Then it’s easy for us to use those two files to generate a new site, by doing a find & replace

SITENAME

For the rest, just keeping a few notes is OK. Why not keep them in a file in the repo too?

deploy_tools/provisioning_notes.md.

Provisioning a new site

=======================

## Required packages:

nginx

Python 3

Git

pip

virtualenv

eg, on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install nginx git python3 python3-pip

sudo pip3 install virtualenv

## Nginx Virtual Host config

see nginx.template.conf

replace SITENAME with, eg, staging.my-domain.com

## Upstart Job

see gunicorn-upstart.template.conf

replace SITENAME with, eg, staging.my-domain.com

## Folder structure:

Assume we have a user account at /home/username

/home/username

└── sites

└── SITENAME

├── database

├── source

├── static

└── virtualenv

We can do a commit for those:
