Configuration Ubuntu Servers | Django

We need to open up our firewall to normal traffic on port 80

• sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
  

Create gunicorn service file & start

• sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/{name}.service
  

• Wrire code in the /etc/systemd/system/{name_file}.service:

  [Unit]
  Description={some info about project}
  After=multi-user.target
  [Service]
  Type=simple
  Restart=on-failure
  WorkingDirectory=/var/www/{project_path}
  ExecStart=/var/www/{project_path}/{venv}/bin/gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8001 {file}.wsgi
  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target
  

• venv | pip install gunicorn

• sudo systemctl enable {name}.service
  

• sudo systemctl start {name}.service
  

• sudo systemctl status {name}.service
  

Create nginx file & start

• sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/{name_file}
  

• Wrire code in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/{name_file}

  server {
  
     server_name {ip_addres};
     listen 80;
     #client_max_body_size 20M;
     keepalive_timeout 5;
     client_max_body_size 4G;
  
     location /static/ {
         root /var/www/{project_path}/;
     }
     
     location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
     
     location /media/ {
         root /var/www/{project_path}/;
     }
     
      access_log /var/log/nginx-access.log;
      error_log /var/log/nginx-error.log;
  
     location / {
         include         proxy_params;
         proxy_pass      http://localhost:8001;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
         proxy_redirect off;
     }
  }
  

• sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/{name} /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
  

• sudo nginx -t
  

• sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
  

If you change gunicorn systemd service file, reload the daemon and restart the process by typing:

• sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  

• sudo systemctl restart gunicorn
  

If you change the Nginx server block configuration, test the configuration and then Nginx by typing:

• sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl restart nginx
  

Checking Logs

• sudo journalctl -u gunicorn
  

• sudo systemctl status gunicorn
  

Nginx Is Displaying a 502 Bad Gateway Error Instead of the Django Application

• sudo tail -F /var/log/nginx-error.log
