Deploy hooks (post-receive)
Earlier I created a post-receive hook: ~/bare-repos/www.domain.com.git/hooks/post-receive open the file (use the files tab to locate it and open it in the editor) and add the following extra steps.
Replace: # there will be more content added here later ... with the following, make adjustments for your own paths and/or file names:
# there will be more content added here later ...
# Replace the above with ...
# switch to site directory
cd /var/www/sites/www.domain.com
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
# and activate the virtual environment
workon www.domain.com.venv
# install/update requirements
echo "INSTALL REQUIREMENTS"
pip install -r requirements.txt
# run migrations
echo "RUN MIGRATIONS"
python manage.py migrate --no-input
# add/update static files
echo "COLLECT STATIC FILES"
python manage.py collectstatic --no-input
# reload the web app by touching the wsgi file
echo "RELOAD THE WEB APP"
touch /var/www/www_domain_com_wsgi.pyThese steps will install any new/updated requirements and run the necessary Django commands.
The last command touch will restart the webapp so that any changes are loaded.
Save the file.
Update the WSG file on PythonAnywhere
From the Web tab open the WSGI configuration file for your site.
When a new webapp is created a WSGI file is automatically created with some example content. You can delete all the content and add the following modified version of the example
# +++++++++++ DJANGO +++++++++++ section.
Add this python code to your sites WSGI file, update the paths and file names as appropriate for your own site.
import os
import sys
from dotenv import load_dotenv # this was installed via requirements.txt
# use your own site path
path = '/var/www/sites/www.domain.com'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)
# use your own path for the env settings
env_folder = os.path.expanduser('~/.env-settings/www.domain.com')
load_dotenv(os.path.join(env_folder, '.env'))
# assumes your webapp is called webapp, substitute as appropriate
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'webapp.settings.production'
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()Save the file.
