A simple boilerplate for Django using Dokku
Dokku provides a fantastic git-oriented way of deploying applications. This is a minimum boilerplate (no Postgres, no S3, no kitchen sink) to get you started with Dokku so you can focus on learning Dokku rather than hacking around in Django internals
In a nutshell,
-
setup an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine running Dokku version 0.21.4
-
create an app name:
dokku apps:create simple-dokku -
set your appenvironment:
dokku config:set simple-dokku DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS='*'
dokku config:set simple-dokku DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='config.settings.local'
dokku config:set simple-dokku DJANGO_SECRET_KEY='your-custom-secret-key-here'
-
clone this repo
-
setup dokku as a remote repository
git remote add dokku dokku@my-ubuntu-box-here:simple-dokku -
push to dokku!
git push dokku master -
visit your Ubuntu server at the reported deployment port to see the default Django page
