FLASK SITE SETUP

  1. Create virutualenv for you application:

    ... cd /var/www/appname
... python3 -m virtualenv --python=python3 venv

  2. Copy the basic application files to your new app directory:

    From your development machine:

    • scp manage.py wsgi.py adminusr@server:/var/www/appname

    • scp django.settings.ini adminusr@server:/var/www/appname/config

    • scp requirements.txt adminusr@server:/var/www/appname/packages

    • scp appsite-0.1.0.tar.gz adminusr@server:/var/www/appname/packages

    • scp app-plugin-0.1.0.tar.gz adminusr@server:/var/www/appname/packages

    Your directory structure should now look like:

    appname
├── config
│   ├── django.settings.ini
├── data
├── logs
├── manage.py
├── packages
│   ├── appsite-0.1.0.tar.gz
│   ├── app-plugin-0.1.0.tar.gz
│   ├── requirements.txt
├── static
└── wsgi.py

    We’ll describe these files in more detail later.

  3. Install your application dependancies:

    
... source ./venv/bin/activate
(venv) ... pip install -r ./packages/requirements.txt
(venv) ... pip install ./packages/appsite-0.1.0.tar.gz
(venv) ... pip install ./packages/app-plugin-0.1.0.tar.gz
(venv) ... deactivate
...
