Install Wagtail and Zappa, and create an empty site:
pip install wagtail zappa zappa-django-utils
pip install pip==9.0.3 # see https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa/issues/1471
wagtail start foo
Set up Zappa. Set the project settings to foo.settings.dev. Make a note of your bucket name.
cd foo
zappa init
Allow all hosts for now, and include zappa_django_utils in your INSTALLED_APPS:
echo -en "\n\nALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']" >> foo/settings/dev.py
echo -en "\n\nINSTALLED_APPS += ('zappa_django_utils',)" >> foo/settings/base.py
Add Zappa's SQLite backend to foo/settings/dev.py:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'zappa_django_utils.db.backends.s3sqlite',
'NAME': 'sqlite.db',
'BUCKET': 'your-bucket-name'
}
}Deploy the site, migrate the database and create an admin user:
zappa deploy dev
zappa manage dev migrate
zappa manage dev create_admin_user
Finally set up static files:
pip install django-storages boto
Add and configure django-storages, in settings/foo/dev.py:
INSTALLED_APPS += ('storages',)
# use the bucket that was created in `zappa init`
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'your-bucket-name'
AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = '%s.s3.amazonaws.com' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATIC_URL = "https://%s/" % AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
# Don't do this! It's convenient but insecure to use the same
# bucket for static files and media.
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'Update and collect static.
zappa update dev
zappa manage dev "collectstatic --noinput"
Fonts probably won't work until you set a CORS policy on your bucket. Go to your S3 bucket properties, and under "Permissions", click on "Add CORS Configuration", and replace the contents with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>HEAD</AllowedMethod>
</CORSRule>
