A Smart command line tool to deploy/maintain small Django applications easily through VPS instances. Prowl Deployer is useful for EC2 and DigitalOcean instances that you want to quickstart.
Pick the image of your choice, in this instance we are using DigitalOcean (we use this at Prowl), and we are using the Ubuntu image
sudo apt-get install python && pip
Once the Prowl deployer is installed you must setup the basic configuration. In the example below I create a user called Prowl
prowldeployer setup --supervisor-user prowl --deployer-home /home/prowl --install all
This command will install all needed dependicies to get Deployer up & running. It will configure nginx and supervisord to be running at as soon as you start the VPS. Also will create a sudoers file to give permissions to the specific users
prowldeployer server --ssh set
This command will create a brand new SSH instance. It's the same as running ssh-keygen -t rsa. You MUST run this command with the user you set the system up with, in this example we used Prowl
To start the Django project in the VPS
prowldeployer project --name todolist --git https://github.com/Montana/prowldeployer --site-addr "http://www.github.com/Montana/prowldeployer" --install
This is essentially the main goal of this tool. You must set a project name (--name), a git repo (--git) and a site(s) address(es) (--site-addr) that the app/site must bind to. Some of the dependencies that you'll need are the following
