The development server provided by the Django ecosystem may be fine for a testing environment or small contained setups. However special consideration must be given when deploying InvenTree in a real-world environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Django apps provide multiple deployment methods - see the `Django documentation <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/deployment/>`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are also numerous online tutorials describing how to deploy a Django application either locally or on an online platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Following is a simple tutorial on serving InvenTree using `Gunicorn <https://gunicorn.org/>`_. Gunicorn is a Python WSGI server which provides a multi-worker server which is much better suited to handling multiple simultaneous requests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install Gunicorn
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gunicorn can be installed using PIP:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`pip3 install gunicorn`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure Static Directories
|
||
|
|
----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Directories for storing *media* files and *static* files should be specified in the ``config.yaml`` configuration file. These directories are the ``MEDIA_ROOT`` and ``STATIC_ROOT`` paths required by the Django app.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Collect Static Files
|
||
|
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The required static files must be collected into the specified ``STATIC_ROOT`` directory. Run ``python3 manage.py collectstatic``
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure Gunicorn
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Gunicorn server can be configured with a simple configuration file (e.g. python script). An example configuration file is provided in ``InvenTree/gunicorn.conf.py``
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. literalinclude :: ../InvenTree/gunicorn.conf.py
|
||
|
|
:language: python
|
||
|
|
:linenos:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This file can be used to configure the Gunicorn server to match particular requirements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run Gunicorn
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the directory where ``manage.py`` is located:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run ``gunicorn -c gunicorn.conf.py InvenTree.wsgi``
|
