Provider-Specific Settings
We have chosen AWS as our hosting provider, and Elastic Beanstalk as a service to deploy the Django project, and it has some specific requirements.
.ebextension Folder
It requires that you create a folder on the root level of your project called .ebextensions :
my_tennis_club
.ebextensions/
members/
my_tennis_club/
mystaticfiles/
productionfiles/
db.sqlite3
manage.py
requirements.txtCreate django.config File
In the .ebextensions folder, create a file called django.config :
my_tennis_club
.ebextensions/
django.configOpen the file and insert these settings:
my_tennis_club/.ebextensions/django.config :
option_settings:
aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:
WSGIPath: my_tennis_club.wsgi:applicationNote
These steps are specific for AWS and Elastic beanstalk, but every provider has some provider-specific settings.
The next step is to wrap all the dependencies into one .zip file, which you will learn in the next chapter .
