This Guide will Help you to Deploy your Django Project on AWS (amazon web services)

Prerequisites :

Working Django Project Hosted on Github
amazon AWS Account

Before we begin lets see how we will deploy it

Django Project will be Deployed on AWS EC2 Instance.
No S3 or Database (will use Django Default Database)
Buy a Domain Name (Hostinger is used).
use Route 53 to connect our Domain Name.

This Tutorial is Divided into 6 Parts :

1. Launching a EC2 instance

Search EC2 in Search option
Go to Instances and Click Launch Instance
Select Ubuntu 20.04-amd64-server
Select the t2.micro Free tier eligible
Go to Congfigure Security Group and click add followings rules :

Type Protocol Port Range Source

HTTP TCP 80 0.0.0.0/0

HTTP TCP 80 ::/0

SSH TCP 22 0.0.0.0/0

HTTPS TCP 443 0.0.0.0/0
Click Launch Instance
Now After Instance Launched click on it and then Click Connect
You will see EC2 Instance Connect and then click on Connect
A new Tab will Open that's your Server (We can also ssh directly but in this tutorial we will use Browser only)

Type	Protocol	Port Range	Source
HTTP	TCP	80	0.0.0.0/0
HTTP	TCP	80	::/0
SSH	TCP	22	0.0.0.0/0
HTTPS	TCP	443	0.0.0.0/0

Now that Our Instance is Launched we have do update it and make it ready for Django

2. Updating Ubuntu, Installing Python,Virtualenv, nginx, supervisor

Run The FOllowing Commands :
1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get upgrade
Check if Python3 is installed :
1. python3 --version
install python environment :
1. sudo apt-get install python3-venv
2. python3 -m venv Projectname-env
Activate the Python Environment by source Projectname-env/bin/activate
Install nginx sudo apt-get install -y nginx
Install supervisor sudo apt-get install supervisor

Everything is Ready Now, we will clone our Repository from GitHub

3. Cloning Repository and Setting Django Project (Projectname-env should be activated):

run git clone https://github.com/agajareiitr/Todo-list-app.git

 Note : here "Todo-list-app" is my repository change it with your Repository

run : pip3 install gunicorn
Install the Project requirements : pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Go to cd /etc/supervisor/conf.d/ location

Run Below Commands :

sudo touch gunicorn.conf
sudo nano gunicorn.conf

Paste the Below code there and Edit your Project Name :

 [program:gunicorn]
 directory=/home/ubuntu/Todo-list-app
 command=/home/ubuntu/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/Todo-list-app/app.sock svportal.wsgi:application
 autostart=true
 autorestart=true
 stderr_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn/gunicorn.err.log
 stdout_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn/gunicorn.out.log
 [group:guni]
 programs:gunicorn

create gunicorn file :
1. sudo mkdir /var/log/gunicorn
2. sudo supervisorctl reread
  1. output: guni:avaliable
3. sudo supervisorctl update
  1. output: guni:added process group
4. sudo supervisorctl status
  1. output: guni:gunicorn Running pid <id>, uptime 0:00:01
Go to cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and run below commands :
1. sudo touch django.conf
2. sudo nano django.conf
3. Paste the Below Code (change the server name with IPv4 public address):
```
 server{
 listen 80;
 server_name 65.0.130.1;
 location / {
 include proxy_params;
 proxy_pass http://unix:/home/ubuntu/Todo-list-app/app.sock;
 }
 }
```
4. Now let's test the nginx service
  1. sudo nginx -t
  2. sudo ln django.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
  3. sudo service nginx restart

Our App don't have Static Files but if your App does then follow the Below Steps

4. Connecting the Static Files :

Go to Path - cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Open Django.conf file by sudo nano django.conf

Paste the Below Code and Edit according to you:

 server{
 listen 80;
 server_name 65.0.130.1;
 location / {
     include proxy_params;
     proxy_pass http://unix:/home/ubuntu/Todo-list-app/app.sock;
     }
 location /static {
     autoindex on;
     alias /home/ubuntu/Todo-list-app/static;
     }
  }

Run nginx service again
1. sudo nginx -t
2. sudo service nginx restart

Now Your Site is running on your IP check it, below steps are for connecting Domain

5. Connecting Domain Name with Route 53 :

Go to Any Domain Name PRovider and Purchase any Domain you want
Go to Path - cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Open Django.conf file by sudo nano django.conf

Edit the server_name:

server{
  listen 80;
  server_name todolist.com www.todolist.com;
  }

Run nginx service again
1. sudo nginx -t
2. sudo service nginx restart
Remember the ipv4 public address copy it from EC2 instance

in AWS search Route53 and click Create a Hosted Zone and follow the below commands

Click Create Hosted Zone and add Domain Name todolist.com (without www) and create it

Click Create Record set :

 Record name : www
 Record type : A
 value : Your IPv4 public address
 leave else as it is and click create
