• Python 3 (recommended 3.6.2)
• PostgreSQL (9.6.5)
• Django (1.11.5+ recommended 1.11.6)
• Pillow: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/4.3.x/installation.html Make sure you got some external libraries like zlib, libjpeg ... installed before you install Python3 if you plan to build your Python3 from source

Recommend install PostgreSQL via docker: https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/

$ docker pull postgres
$ docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=yourpassword  --name postgres postgres

Automate:

$./init.sh

OR manually:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 manage.py makemigrations
$ python3 manage.py migrate
$ python3 manage.py loaddata backend/fixtures/database.json

• Edit WebPyRobot/development.py file. Add:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'database_name',
        'USER': 'username',
        'PASSWORD': 'yourpostgrepassword',
        'HOST': 'db host',
        'PORT': 'db port',
    }
}

$ ./run.sh

OR

$ python3 manage.py runserver

The server will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

• Nginx (lastest version)
• Supervisor (lastest version)
• Redis

Install Python3 and PostgreSQL on your server, don't forget to install Python development library (python-dev or python-devel) if you don't build Python from source

Install lastest Nginx: https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/installing-nginx-open-source/. Check Installing From NGINX Repository section.

Install Supervisor:

$ sudo apt-get install supervisor

Install redis

$ sudo apt-get install redis-server

Push your code to the server

Edit WebPyRobot/production.py to add your database, secret key, Channels settings for production

Install dependencies and initiate data:

$ ./init.sh

Setup static files for Nginx

$ python3 prod_manage.py collectstatic

Edit configuration files in conf/ to match your server settings:

• webpyrobot_channels_supervisord.conf is the configuration file to keep the project running with daphne under the management of supervisord. It's also for managing Channels workers
• webpyrobot_nginx.conf is the configuration file of the project in nginx

Start supervisord and nginx

$ sudo systemctl service start supervisord
$ sudo systemctl service start nginx

Enjoy your production!
