Variables

Project Archive

This role requires you to package your Django application into an archive. It's best to use setuptools since it's commonly used, but a simple zip file will also work. Set django_archive to the location of your archive.

Project Environment

django_project_environment allows you to deploy different environments on the same server, which is useful for saving costs. It defaults to "staging".

Project Name

Set django_project_name to your project's name. By default, it checks the environment variable DJANGO_PROJECT_NAME.

Project Version

Set django_project_version to your project's version. It defaults to "develop". Deploying the same version twice will replace what’s currently on the server. Old versions are kept on the server, so you can easily revert by changing the symlink.

Server Name

Set django_server_name to your project's domain name. You can specify multiple names separated by a space. It defaults to checking the environment variable DJANGO_SERVER_NAME.

Directory for Django Projects

Set django_projects_directory to the path where you typically keep your Django projects. It defaults to "/var/www".

Static Files Directory

Set django_static_dir to the directory where you store static files. By default, this is left empty. We recommend using a CDN, such as AWS S3, for storing static files. It looks for the environment variable DJANGO_STATIC_DIR by default.

Django Configuration Module

Set django_config to the module path of your Django configuration, like 'app.settings'.

Extra Django Configuration Template

Set django_config_file to the path of the external configuration template for your Django application.

Django WSGI File

Set django_file_file to the path of the WSGI file for your Django application.
