Django-LFS bootstrap

A simple and pythonic way to build your django-lfs shop.

Clone django-lfs-bootstrap

$ git clone https://github.com/MrTango/django-lfs-bootstrap.git shop

The you have the following structure:

./shop
├── lfs_project
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── local_settings.py_tmpl
│   ├── manage.py
│   ├── settings.py
│   └── urls.py
├── README.md
└── requirements.txt

Create virtualenv

Its recommended to use virtalenv to avoid conflicts. If you don't know virtualenv please read this: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv/.

Install django and django-lfs

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Make your settings

The settings are in settings.py and local_settings.py. You can override every from settings.py in you local_settings.py. As a starting point you can just copy the local_settings.py_tmpl

$ cp local_settings.py_tmpl local_settings.py

Then define your database and language aso in local_settings.py or settings.py You can override every from settings.py in you local_settings.py

Sync the database

$ ./manage.py syncdb

Initialize lfs

$ ./manage.py lfs_init

Collect static files

$ ./manage.py collectstatic

Start your shop:

$ ./manage.py runserver 

or

$ ./manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8080

Using other WSGI servers

Of course, you can use any WSGI server like Gunicorn, uWSGI or Chaussette to run your shop now.

uWSGI example

You can just install and run your shop with uWSGI like so:

$ pip install uwsgi

Then create an ini-file uwsgi.ini for example:

[uwsgi]
uid = lfs
gid = lfs
master = true
processes = 4
threads = 1
# set the http port
http = :8001
# change to django project directory
chdir = /home/lfs/shop/lfs_project
pythonpath = /home/lfs/shop
virtualenv = /home/lfs/.virtualenvs/venv1/
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=lfs_project.settings
# load django
module = django.core.handlers.wsgi:WSGIHandler()
daemonize = /home/lfs/shop/uwsgi.log
pidfile2 = /home/lfs/shop/uwsgi.pid	

Then you can start your shop:

$ uwsgi --ini uwsgi.ini

And to stop uWSGI:

$ uwsgi --stop uwsgi.pid

Have fun ;)
