redsolutioncms.django-server-config 0.1.4

In settings.py:

1. Put config to your INSTALLED_APPS.

2. Set domain names for your project

   CONFIG_SITES = ['www.project-name.com', ]

3. Domains for which you want redirects to your site

   CONFIG_REDIRECTS = ['project-name.com', ]

4. Serving static files

   Set path to media for unusual 3-party application

   CONFIG_APP_MEDIA = {
       'application-name': [
           ('media-root', 'media-url', ),
       ]
   }

   Media folders with same name as application modulde will be added automatically. For example, in tinymce module media files

   tinymce/
       media/
           tinymce/
               js/tinymce.js
               css/style.css

   will be available at url:

   /media/tinymce/js/tinymce.js
   /media/tinymce/css/style.js

Stop! Aren’t Django staticfiles do that?

Yes, they do. But django-servre-config is older than staticfiles and does same job. This feature will is deprecated and will not be supported since 0.2.x release. We recommend to use Django contrib application django.contrib.statifiles. Read below about how to do it.

In urls.py:

5. If you use django-server-config for serving static media, add following code to the urls.py for serve static files in debug mode. Add it BEFORE django.views.static.serve

   if settings.DEBUG:
       urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^', include('config.urls')))

In buildout.cfg:

6. If you are using zc.buildout, you can add to your parts make-config to make config files automaticaly:

   [make-config]
   recipe = iw.recipe.cmd
   on_install = true
   on_update = true
   cmds = sudo rm -f bin/init.d bin/lighttpd bin/logrotate bin/monit bin/*.py
      bin/django make_config init.d > bin/init.d
      bin/django make_config lighttpd > bin/lighttpd
      bin/django make_config logrotate > bin/logrotate
      bin/django make_config monit > bin/monit
      # Enable backups with duply & duplicity (http://duplicity.nongnu.org)
      bin/django make_config duply_conf > bin/duply_conf
      bin/django make_config duply_pre > bin/duply_pre
      bin/django make_config duply_post > bin/duply_post
      bin/django make_config duply_exclude > bin/duply_exclude
   
      # Collect static automaticaly
      sudo rm -Rf static
      bin/django collectstatic -l ---noinput
      sudo chown www-data:www-data -R static
   
      bin/django make_config install.py > bin/install.py
      bin/django make_config uninstall.py > bin/uninstall.py
      bin/django make_config enable.py > bin/enable.py
      bin/django make_config disable.py > bin/disable.py
   
      sudo chown root:root bin/*
      sudo chmod ug=rw,o=r bin/*
      sudo chmod ug=rwx,o=rx bin/init.d bin/django bin/buildout
      echo Configs were saved to "bin/"

Without bulidout

If you are not using zc.buildlout, you can add to repository shell script with commands above, it will give same effect.

Backup settings

Security Note

To start using backups you should specify path to main configuration file for duply. Django-server-config expects file in *.ini format. This file can contains secret passwords, so file supposed to be located somewhere in /etc/duply/conf.ini and belongs to root (superuser).

BACKUP_DUPLY_CONFIG

Path to duply configuration file

BACKUP_TEMP_DIR

Temp directory, where database backups will be located. Database dumps will be deleted from file system after each backup session. Default value: '/var/backups/postgres'

Only PostgreSQL database backups are supported!

Duply configuration file

It is quite simple to configure duply. You can create duply initial config simply from command line::

duply <profile> create

Then look at ~/.duply/<profile>/conf and follow comments.

Moreover, you can use ours config template:

[duply]
GPG_PW='**********'
TARGET='s3+http://**********@com.mycompany.server/'
SOURCE='/'
MAX_AGE=1M
MAX_FULL_BACKUPS=5
MAX_FULLBKP_AGE=1W
VOLSIZE=50
DUPL_PARAMS="$DUPL_PARAMS --full-if-older-than $MAX_FULLBKP_AGE --volsize $VOLSIZE "

This template encrypts backups with GPG and uplaod to AmazonS3 bucket com.mycompany.server.

Pay attention to the TAGET option. Django-server-config will automatiocally add project_name to TARGET. E.g. rendered config will contain value:

TARGET = s3+http://**********@com.mycompany.server/<myproject>

Consider trailing slash in *.ini config, django-server-config adds only myproject without slash.
