Django + SQLite

Pre-requisites

• You will need a domain name for your project
• The installed disco CLI
• And a server initialized with disco

Set up

• If you haven't yet connected your GitHub account with your disco installation, run:

disco github:apps:add

You only need to do this once.

Steps

• Create an CNAME record for your project and point it to your disco server's address
  • let's say that your disco server's address is disco.example.com
  • create a CNAME for your project such as blog.example.com (the "from") and point it to the server's disco.example.com address (the "to")
• Fork the example repo
• Add the project to your server by running the command below:

disco projects:add \
    --name my-django-site \
    --github USERNAME/REPONAME \
    --domain DOMAINNAME

above, replace:

• the USERNAME/REPONAME with the path to your GitHub fork (e.g., john/my-project)
• DOMAINNAME with the domain you wish to deploy your project to

---

Final steps

We need to run 2 commands so that the deployed project can work. To do so, run:

# generate a secret key, for example using `uuidgen`,
# and set it as the DJANGO_SECRET_KEY value below:
disco env:set --project my-django-site \
    DJANGO_SECRET_KEY="... secret value ..." \
    DATABASE_URL="sqlite:////sqlitedata/db.sqlite3"
disco run --project my-django-site "python manage.py migrate"

---

That's it! Your project will now deploy to your server.

Once deployed, go to your domain name. Your site should be there!
