Deployment in Production

1. Install Anaconda with Python 3.6. This guide assumes Windows 64bit.

2. Create virtual environment

    python -m venv venv
   

3. Activate the virtual environment

    venv\Scripts\activate
   

4. Install dependencies

    pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. Edit setenv.cmd and ensure configuration (get from Dropbox admin)

6. Run setenv.cmd

7. python manage.py collectstatic

8. Configure your webserver to:

   • Reverse proxy http://ecn.pptik.id/ to http://localhost:8000/

     • Exclude /static/* (in IIS, use Condition - {PATH_INFO} does not match pattern ^/static/)

   • Serve /static/ from ecnweb/static folder

   • Forward HTTP Host header

   • Bonus: Set/Forward HTTP X-Forwarded-Proto header

   • Bonus: Support SSL (see https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-generate-a-ssl-certificate-for-iis-7-0-or-7-5/29467)

9. Linux: Use gunicorn:

    pip install --upgrade gunicorn
    gunicorn ecnweb.wsgi
   

   Windows - Easy way: Use waitress:

    pip install --upgrade waitress
    waitress-serve --listen=*:8000 ecnweb.wsgi:application
   

   Windows - Hard way: https://medium.com/@bilalbayasut/deploying-python-web-app-flask-in-windows-server-iis-using-fastcgi-6c1873ae0ad8 You need to install Web Platform Installer in IIS Manager.

Autostart Script (Windows Server)

E:
cd \ecnweb
call setenv
set PATH=E:\ecnweb\venv\Scripts;%PATH%
waitress-serve --listen=*:8000 ecnweb.wsgi:application
