[@codewkarim]

Thanks! I'd give more if I had more! A tutorial on point. Explanation on point. Everything was clear and perfectly explained.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Wow, really appreciate it Karim! Happy to hear it. More Django tutorials to come this year :)

[@danielgr95]

Hi Tony. Great tutorial, I really appreciate it! I want to add a little thing, perhaps someone is running into the same problem. When setting the uwsgi.ini file (around 28:00) , I had to comment out the ' home' line for it to work. Logs showed an error when mapping the PYTHONHOME, commenting that line out solved the issue.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Thanks for sharing. This will hopefully help out others

[@srinivasguptha9538]

Thank you so much. Explained a complicated topic very clearly.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You are welcome!

[@shubhamgupta7730]

Best video on the internet. Thank you so much for explanation. ✌️

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@drmikeyg]

Good job, keep the videos coming. Thanks for your efforts.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Thanks, will do!

[@rainiskey]

For anyone having trouble installing uwsgi or any other package for that matter into ur virtual enviroment, make sure the user ur working with owns the virtual enviroment. Do not use sudo, cause you really dont want any of these packages to be installed globably. Also, uwsgi depends on gcc, python dev and wheels. Hope this helps anyone stuck. (any packaged with pip)

[@eji7552]

AWESOME TUTORIAL!

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Thanks!

thx for this video. i am struggeling with apache and now use nginx.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Good luck!

[@IsaacLopezLopez]

Buen material Antonio!

[@hodoros7255]

Subscribed, thank you for this. Still not 100% clear on why nginx is needed here - I heard your explaination in the video that nginx is "better" at handling static files, but that didn't really sound like concrete answer. Would you be able to expand on that a little bit? Thanks! Side question - the static files that are generated with collectstatic, what are those? Just defaults that get shipped with Django? Thanks again for this great tutorial

[@computersindia]

Excellent Explanation!!

[@yucelmutlusoy]

Thanks for the upload. Excellent tutorial 👍 are you using virtual box for local development?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

[@threekingdoms99]

Thank you, Tony! This tutorial is very useful!

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You're very welcome!

[@mohammedumargigani1297]

we really loved your video and follow all steps and successfully deployed it on our cloud server can you please make a video how we can run django app on docker ?

[@TheEaglesBasket]

Hi. This looks like a single server for the website. Isn't that vulnerable if something happens to hardware, connection or when maintenance? Is it possible to have two servers working in different locations for the same website?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I see what you're saying about having multiple applications on a single server. Yes technically I guess you're right that if the server is compromised, every application is vulnerable. Choosing to host on separate servers could slow down an attacker, but probably not stop him entirely if he's determined enough. Always remember that anything connected to the internet is never truly secure. It's certainly possible to host different applications on different servers for the same website. This of course would add in network latency when the servers communicate with each other. Honestly I don't have much experience in this realm, but that's just my 2 cents :)

[@devanshuchaudhari8718]

[@ibuyukerdem]

Hello, after 2 days of struggling with this installation, I found your video and explanations. First of all, thank you very much. Although I used all the parameters such as user and domain as yours, I encountered some errors. I wanted to write some notes in case there are friends who are experiencing these. 1- First of all, I used Python 3.10 version. I couldn't do it with 3.12. I installed dev with sudo apt-get install python3.10-dev command of the same version. It didn't work with any other version. 2- When I proceeded according to your explanations, I was getting 502 bad gateway error error at the end. Nginx could not access the relevant files. I saw this in the Nginx logs. after this stage, I solved the problem by taking the udoms user and the nginx user to the same group. But it took me a long time to solve this. After all, I am not a system administrator or I don't have much linux knowledge. I used sudo usermod -g www-data udoms command to do this. I thank Tony again...

[@matt_vid]

Thank you so much, this needs to be at the top comments, it works now smoothly

[@matt_vid]

Althougth, the first point nowadays works, because I am running at python 3.12. And succesfully installed the app python3.12-dev. And as you said, there was an 502 bad gateway because of lack of permissions of my to the primary group of www-data. I was thinking about these command: gpasswd -a www-data But it didn't and yours exactly worked. I dont know why but it seems to be the primary group as a instead of just adding the to the group . It seems weird error, because I do this command in another server(same type ubuntu) and works perfectly.

[@fardarshan]

is installing and configuring Gunicorn instead of uWSGI the same?

[@demonsjostle]

Thanks for this tutorial.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You're welcome!

[@saikatjaman2004]

ur the one that I was looking for, thanks bro, do u have any tutorial on how to connect Django with a database like MySQL?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Are you familiar with Django models? docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/db/models/. It's a way of abstracting database interaction in Django. That would be my suggestion. You'll still need a database of some sort like MySQL. I will have a video on this topic in the next few months :)

[@shaikbyte]

Excellent dude

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi, I have a question. Does this method works with Plesk panel on Ubuntu LTS (Apache web server and nginx as proxy server)? Actually, I have plesk panel and couldn't run Django app with Postgre SQL database (database has no issue, it works fine) Please record a video about plesk panel for Django installation...

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I typically restart the emperor service systemctl start emperor.uwsgi.service

[@amzarahamed1536]

Why do we need to let Django know where the static files are? Aren't the nginx the one which serves static & media files?

[@kapitankidlattv9613]

So after this, I just have to copy my project to the server and that's it?

[@michazarod8742]

Hi there, Tony! Could you please explain how the socket is created? What creates it and at which point? Or does it need to be created manually somehow?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

The socket is automatically created when you do run the uwsgi command

[@georgesmith3022]

Hi tony, this was very good tutorial. if nginx is on a different server than wsgi/django can you use a socket for communication or do I have to use http?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I believe sockets are only local, so you would have to use http

Thanks Tony for your hard work. I would like to know if the config can work in local network. I have my project and I want to run in local network

[@Dan-bd7lj]

I need help. I dont understand how the NGINX config file is supposed to look like. I'm running this on a pi. I can't get past the NGINX part. What path do I use for my upstream django line? What about the server_name line? Im just using my IP, not a domain?

@@TonyTeachesTech Thanks. In the end I was able to get it working after some trouble shooting. I just went though your other videos on getting SSL certs and getting django production ready. All excellent vids. I just have one question though, How exactly would we restart or stop the server if we wanted to? Whats the difference between using NGINX (/etc/init.d/nginx restart) or what you used (systemctl restart emperor.uwsgi.service)? Thanks so much!

[@Dan-bd7lj]

@@TonyTeachesTech I actually have one more question for you, if you don't mind. I am unable to access the production site from within my own network. I totally understand why, due to the way NAT and port forwarding works, and I have been using a VPN to actually reach my site. You seem to be able to reach your site from within the same network. How do you go about this?

[@wpyoga]

Thank you for the video. With respect, I think uWSGI doesn't call the "Django backend" but the "Django app". And that "Django app" does not call Python -- rather, it is interpreted by the Python interpreter. Hope this clears up any confusion for the viewers.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Thanks for clarifying William :)
