Mezzanine CMS: How to setup gunicorn, nginx and wsgi for production.

Question

Hello everyone,

I have deployed Mezzanine CMS on digital ocean Debian droplet. And its running at http://{droplet-ip}:8000. But trying to deploy for production means Mezzanine CMS should run at http://{droplet-ip} and background process should be taken care by nginx, gunicorn.

Followed the Digital ocean documentation for setting-up production site with nginx but no luck! I have no idea where i’m making mistake. Would be greatful if someone can help me with steps - how to configure nginx and other require dependencies for production.

Thank you so much.

Rgds, Sunil

Without knowing exactly what you tried, it’s hard to give you a very detailed answer, but hopefully this points you in the right direction. A Nginx reverse proxy configuration would normally look something like this: upstream app_server { server 127.0.0.1:<^>9000<^> fail_timeout=0; } server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; index index.html index.htm; client_max_body_size 4G; server_name <^>example.com<^>; keepalive_timeout 5; location /static { root /path/to/staric/files; } location / { proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_redirect off; proxy_pass http://app_server; } } Though if you are using Mezzanine, you might want to consider using Fabric to handle your deployment needs. Each Mezzanine project should come with a fabfile.py that will automate setting up a stanadrd Nginx/Gunicorn/Postgres stack. Check out the Mezzanine docs. Youll need to add some server specific configurable variables in the project’s settings.py module. Here’s an example: FABRIC = { "SSH_USER": "", # SSH username for host deploying to "HOSTS": ALLOWED_HOSTS[:1], # List of hosts to deploy to (eg, first host) "DOMAINS": ALLOWED_HOSTS, # Domains for public site "REPO_URL": "ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/user/project", # Project's repo URL "VIRTUALENV_HOME": "", # Absolute remote path for virtualenvs "PROJECT_NAME": "", # Unique identifier for project "REQUIREMENTS_PATH": "requirements.txt", # Project's pip requirements "GUNICORN_PORT": 8000, # Port gunicorn will listen on "LOCALE": "en_US.UTF-8", # Should end with ".UTF-8" "DB_PASS": "", # Live database password "ADMIN_PASS": "", # Live admin user password "SECRET_KEY": SECRET_KEY, "NEVERCACHE_KEY": NEVERCACHE_KEY, }
