Create and deploy a Python Django application
We have applications available for Node.js Express, Go Gin, Python Flask, Python Django, Java Spring, Java Liberty, Swift Kitura, Android, and iOS.
In this sample application, you will create a web application using Django to serve web pages in Python, complete with standard best practices, including a health check.
This app contains an opinionated set of files for web serving:
app/templates/index.htmlstaticfiles/js/bundle.jsstaticfiles/css/default.css
Steps
Deploying to IBM Cloud
IBM Cloud DevOps services provides toolchains as a set of tool integrations that support development, deployment, and operations tasks inside IBM Cloud.
Building Locally
To get started building this application locally, you can either run the application natively or use the IBM Cloud Developer Tools for containerization and easy deployment to IBM Cloud.
Native Application Development
- Install Python
Running Django applications has been simplified with a manage.py file to avoid dealing with configuring environment variables to run your app. From your project root, you can download the project dependencies with:
pipenv install
Then, activate this app's virtualenv:
pipenv shell
To run your application locally, run this inside the virtualenv:
python manage.py start
Your application will be running at http://localhost:3000. You can access the /health endpoint at the host. You can also verify the state of your locally running application using the Selenium UI test script included in the scripts directory.
Debugging locally
To debug a django project run python manage.py runserver with DEBUG set to True in settings.py to start a native django development server. This comes with the Django's stack-trace debugger, which will present runtime failure stack-traces. For more information, see Django's documentation.
IBM Cloud Developer Tools
Install IBM Cloud Developer Tools on your machine by running the following command:
curl -sL https://ibm.biz/idt-installer | bash
Create an application on IBM Cloud by running:
ibmcloud dev create
This will create and download a starter application with the necessary files needed for local development and deployment.
Your application will be compiled with Docker containers. To compile and run your app, run:
ibmcloud dev build
ibmcloud dev run
This will launch your application locally. When you are ready to deploy to IBM Cloud on Kubernetes, run one of the commands:
ibmcloud dev deploy -t container // to K8s cluster
You can build and debug your app locally with:
ibmcloud dev build --debug
ibmcloud dev debug
