Deployment

1. Download and Configure App

• Download the latest version from git clone https://git.library.utoronto.ca/digitaltoolsmss/iiifAPI.git
• Modify ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["server_domain_or_IP"] in iiifAPI/settings.py
• Django uses the STATIC_ROOT and STATICFILES_DIRS setting to determine the directory where these files should go. Run python manage.py collectstatic from the root directory.
• Modify MONGO_DATABASE_NAME and MONGO_DATABASE_HOST to match the production environment settings.

2. Configure with Apache or NGINX Web Server

• [Djano with Apache] (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-on-ubuntu-16-04)
• [Django with NGINX] (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04)
• NOTE: In either of these setup, there is no need to run the following commands because we use MongoDB.
  • manage.py makemigrations, manage.py migrate and manage.py createsuperuser
