Tornado Template

Easy to use Tornado template. This stack uses:

• Tornado
• Nginx
• Auto-Deploy (Git Hook)
• Twitter Bootstrap
• Supervisor

Installing this should take roughly 5 minutes!

Installing Git, Python Tools, Nginx, Tornado, and Supervisor

This is using Ubuntu 10.04+

Installing the Tools:

apt-get install python-setuptools
easy_install pip
pip install tornado
apt-get install git
apt-get install nginx
pip install supervisor

If git doesn't work then: sudo apt-get -y install git-core

Setting up your Github Account:

cd ~/.ssh
ls
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"
vim id_rsa.pub

Copy the public key, paste it into your GitHub account SSH Key section, then try:

ssh -T [email protected]

Create Directory:

mkdir /srv/www
mkdir /srv/www/domainname.com 
cd /srv/www/domainname.com
git clone [email protected]:AbhiAgarwal/Tornado-Template.git /srv/www/domainname.com/

Remember to add /srv/www/domainname.com/ to the clone so it doesn't create a new directory.

Change nginx/nginx.conf and supervisord/supervisord.conf to point to your /srv/www/domainname.com/ to your directory path. Do this before configuring them or they will mess up.

Creating configuration files:

cd /etc/nginx
rm nginx.conf
ln -s /srv/www/domainname.com/nginx/nginx.conf nginx.conf
cd
ln -s /srv/www/domainname.com/supervisord/supervisord.conf supervisord.conf

Setting up Nginx:

adduser --system --no-create-home --disabled-login --disabled-password --group nginx
mkdir ~/logs
supervisord
/etc/init.d/nginx start

It's started the Nginx server now, and started the webserver at port 8000, 8001, 8002, 8003.

Try and open your URL/IP and it should work!

Now look at Auto-Deploy and set that up. If you don't want to use that then:

cd /srv/www/domainname.com/
git pull

Starting Tornado

Using this Tornado template without Implementing Nginx:

python main.py --port=80

Using this Tornado template using Nginx:

/etc/init.d/nginx start

Auto-Deploy (Runs on port 8005) - Link

Github -> Service Hook -> Website

• Update the file (GitAutoDeploy.conf.json)

  • Change url and path

• Start the server by typing:

  • python GitAutoDeploy.py --daemon-mode

• GitHub Service Hook URL

  • http://www.domain.com:8005

Generating the Secret Key

If you want to generate a secret key for the cookie_secret on your main file then:

import base64
import uuid
print base64.b64encode(uuid.uuid4().bytes + uuid.uuid4().bytes)

Checking Ports

Checking Ports

• netstat -nlp

Restarting Nginx

• /etc/init.d/nginx reload or service nginx restart
• /etc/init.d/nginx start

Problems

• Problems with Supervisord?
  • try: cd, unlink supervisord.sock

Todo

• Create a .sh script to install all of it together
