Helps you to keep your Django installation up to date
Project description
django-updater
Displays a warning message in the admin when the used Django version is insecure or outdated and provides a management command (or celery task) that checks for updates periodically.
Documentation
The full documentation is at https://django-updater.readthedocs.org.
Quickstart
Install django-updater:
pip install django-updater
Then, add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... "updater", )
If you want to enable it in the admin area, make sure to put updater before django.contrib.admin:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... "updater", "django.contrib.admin", )
Usage
If you have django-updater enabled in the admin area, it will display a info/warning message when there are updates available automatically.
In order to check for updates in an automated fashion, django-updater has to be called periodically. There are two ways to accomplish that:
Running a periodic Celery task
Create a cronjob
Celery
If you are using Celery and have a celery beat daemon running, enable Celery support in your settings with:
from datetime import timedelta CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = { 'run-django-updater': { 'task': 'updater.tasks.run_check', 'schedule': timedelta(days=1), }, }
And you are good to go!
Cronjob
You can use a cronjob to check for updates once a day.
To set up a cronjob, run:
crontab -e
And then add:
30 2 * * * python /path/to/your/apps/manage.py check_for_updates
If you are using a virtual environment, you might need to point to the python executable your virtual environment is using:
30 2 * * * /path/to/virtual/environment/bin/python /path/to/your/apps/manage.py check_for_updates
