django-deployer 0.1.2

Django deployment tool for popular PaaS providers

django-deployer is a deployment tool for Django that currently deploys any Django app to the following PaaS providers: Dotcloud, Stackato and Google App Engine.

The goal of django-deployer is to minimize the effort to deploy a Django app to any of the popular PaaS providers. It asks a series of questions about your Django project, and then generates a generic deploy.yml file that captures all of your project’s requirements. django-deployer then uses this deploy.yml file to translate these requirements into specific configurations for each PaaS.

See the roadmap below for adding support for more providers: Heroku, OpenShift, Elastic Beanstalk and Gondor.

Getting Started

To install django-deployer, use pip to fetch the package from PyPi:

$ pip install django-deployer

From your project’s root directory:

$ deployer-init
$ fab setup
...

Now inspect your project directory and you will see that a file deploy.yml and various config files were created.

Note: if you’re going to try different PaaS providers, it’s recommended that you make a separate git branch for each one, because when you re-run fab setup it could inadvertently overwrite the config files from the first run.

Contribute

If you want to develop django-deployer, you can clone it and install it into your project’s virtualenv:

$ source bin/activate
(venv)$ git clone git://github.com/natea/django-deployer.git
(venv)$ cd django-deployer
(venv)$ python setup.py develop

Or you can also install an editable source version of it using pip:

$ source bin/activate
(venv)$ pip install -e git+git://github.com/natea/django-deployer.git#django-deployer

Which will clone the git repo into the src directory of your project’s virtualenv.
