Multiple Django server deploy script

A script that automates deploying a Django website using Gunicorn and nginx in a shared environment.

It is based on this tutorial: https://github.com/viniciosbarretos/Multiple-Django-Single-Server

Requirements

• A linux environment with root privileges
• Nginx
• Python >= 3.7
• python-venv
• Pip >= 19.0

Usage

Copy the deploy.sh script inside your Django project folder. The project folder has to be inside your user folder (e.g. /home/my-linux-user/).

Ensure you have all requirements installed and updated in your system and you deleted any previous virtual environment. Then run the following command:

./deploy.sh [SITE NAME] [DOMAIN] [USER]

./deploy.sh example example.com my-linux-user

How the script works

It simply creates a virtual environment in your Django project folder, install all the requirements in file "requirements.txt" and also Gunicorn. Then it creates and enables 2 systemd service files: your-site-name.gunicorn.service and your-site-name.gunicorn.socket. The first one runs the Django server, and it requires the second one to be running, that is the gunicorn socket. After running the server, it creates a simple proxy redirect using Nginx and reloads Nginx service.
