Nginx + Django + Gunicorn + Python 3.4 Configs

README.md

What?

This is a minimal but effective set of configuration files and setup for running Django (targetted at 1.8) with Python 3.4, Gunicorn, Nginx

Why?

Because I'm sick and tired of writing this config over and over :)

How?

Create the files specced above, place them in the relevant locations, replacing "django-project" with the name of your project.

nginx.conf

# /etc/nginx/sites-available/django-project
server {
        listen 80;
        location ^~ /static/  {
                root /srv/django-project/;
        }
        location / {
                proxy_pass      http://localhost:28000;
                proxy_redirect  off;
                proxy_set_header   Host $host;
                proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
        }
}

setup.sh

cd /srv/django-project
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.4 --prompt='(django-project) ' env
. env/bin/activate
pip install gunicorn tornado
pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo service django-project start
sudo service nginx restart

upstart.conf
