Requirements

• Ubuntu 15.04 / Ubuntu 15.10
• Apache 2 and mod_wsgi (for production only)
• Python 3.4
• PostgreSQL 9.4
• Pip
• VirtualEnv
• Git

Locales

Sometimes VPS has no configured locales, you can test it by executing perl -e exit. If it outputs some warnings, you should generate locales by doing this:

echo -e 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8\nLC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8' > /etc/default/locale
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

Logout, login, and then command perl -e exit should output nothing.

Installation

Apache

sudo apt-get install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
sudo service apache2 restart

PostgreSQL

sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.4 python-psycopg2 libpq-dev

Python

sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev

Pip

sudo apt-get install -y python-pip

VirtualEnv

sudo apt-get install -y python-virtualenv

Git

sudo apt-get install -y git

Preparation

Create database and user:

su
su - postgres
createuser jake -P
createdb -O jake jakedb
logout
exit

or:

sudo -i -u postgres
createuser jake -P
createdb -O jake jakedb
logout

Set up an environment:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.4 ~/VirtualEnvs/jake
git clone https://github.com/gyKa/jake.git ~/Apps/jake
source ~/VirtualEnvs/jake/bin/activate

In order to set environment variables, create jake/.env file. Here are available settings:

Name	Value
DATABASE_DEFAULT_PASSWORD	ha7yAL28Zvcg
STATIC_ROOT	/home/gytis/Apps/jake/static (for production only)

Install dependencies: pip install -r ~/Apps/jake/requirements.txt

Do some Django related work:

python ~/Apps/jake/manage.py migrate
python ~/Apps/jake/manage.py createsuperuser
python ~/Apps/jake/manage.py collectstatic (for production only)

Create new virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-available/jake.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName jake.karciauskas.lt
    ServerAlias www.jake.karciauskas.lt

    # Insert the full path to the wsgi.py-file here.
    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/gytis/Apps/jake/jake/wsgi.py

    # PROCESS_NAME specifies a distinct name of this process.
    #   see: https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIDaemonProcess
    # PATH/TO/PROJECT_ROOT is the full path to your project's root directory,
    #   containing your project files.
    # PATH/TO/VIRTUALENV/ROOT: If you are using a virtualenv specify the full
    #   path to its directory.
    #   Generally you must specify the path to Python's site-packages.
    WSGIDaemonProcess jake python-path=/home/gytis/Apps/jake:/home/gytis/VirtualEnvs/jake/lib/python3.4/site-packages/

    # PROCESS_GROUP specifies a distinct name for the process group
    #   see: https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIProcessGroup
    WSGIProcessGroup jake

    Alias /static/ /home/gytis/Apps/jake/static/

    <Directory /home/gytis/Apps/jake/static>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/gytis/Apps/jake/jake>
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
        </Files>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Then enable site a2ensite jake.conf and restart Apache server service apache2 reload.
