Deployment

To deploy this application you'll have to use docker. You can deploy with regular python however that is more involved and not covered.

Things you'll need

• Somewhere to run the code (e.g., AWS EC2 or AWS Lightsail, Heroku)
• MySql Database Only if you choose mysql option (e.g., AWS RDS, ClearDB)
• SMTP (e.g., AWS SMTP, Google SMTP)

You'll either need to build image then push image to cloud service (e.g., EC2 + ECR) in some way or run these scripts within a terminal that has docker (Lightsail).

Currently we are running with Heroku + ClearDB + Google SMTP as all of them are free.

I would recommend storing image on AWS ECR and using EC2 to deploy image, also using AWS RDS for database.

Docker + MySql

BUILD

You'll require a connection to the db as it runs a migration on database so it is up to date

docker build -f docker/django.prod.Dockerfile -t unipark .

RUN

docker run --publish 8000:8000 unipark

Open/Route localhost:8000
