Hello all,
For a long time, this has perplexed me and I cannot find the
answer. It is a crucial recommendation for deploying Django (or any Python
app for that matter) into production.
Here is the issue. I have two web hosting accounts, one is VPS with ssh
root access. The other is shared hosting that specifically targets users
of Python-based applications such as Django.
It appears that the shared Python environment does not allow ssh access.
In all cases, a virtualenv is recommended for any Python
deployment. In both cases, I have Apache as the web server with mod_wsgi.
Obviously, I need the server, Apache, to activate the
Django environment. I can ssh to my VPS but what good is that. I don't
need my username to be activating the Python isolated environment. As soon
as I close the ssh session the activated environment
is no longer activated. My best guess is that the Apache user must
activate the virtual environment and keep it activated as an isolated
virtual environment.
I have googled and googled for an answer to something so basic
to deploying into production an isolated Python environment for Django (or
any Python application) for that matter. So, here is my best effort
to ask the question clearly. How do I deploy into production a Django
application following the best practice of using an isolated virtual
environment that is activated even after I close my ssh session?
Regarding the shared Python hosting, if I don't have ssh access
I cannot even issue Pypi commands to install modules that I might need for
my Django app.
Thanks,
Bruce
