#djangobluemix

Allows you to quickly start building and deploying Django Python Apps To IBM Bluemix.

##To manually push this starter Django App to Bluemix using CF

Getting Started

1. Create a Bluemix Account

   Sign up on Bluemix.net, or use an existing account. Runtimes are free to try for one month.

2. Download and install the Cloud-foundry CLI tool

3. Edit the manifest.yml file and change the <application-name> to something unique and modify the <services-name> to reflect your own Postgres SQL database service instance on Bluemix after you create it.

applications:
- name: <application-name>
memory: 256M
# This is command provided by cf -c option
command: bash ./run.sh
buildpack: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/python-buildpack
path: .
declared-services:
<services-name>:
label:postgresql
plan:100
services:
- <services-name>

The name you use will determinate your application url initially, e.g. `<application-name>.mybluemix.net`.

4. Connect to Bluemix in the command line tool

$ cf api https://api.ng.bluemix.net
$ cf login -u <your user ID>

5. Create the PostGress Databse Service on in Bluemix

$ cf create-service postgresql "100" postgresqlmine

6. Push it live!

$ cf push

To automate the deployment of this starter template

Simply click on the deploy to bluemix button below to deploy this Django Python Application.

Directions

• Accept the default values for you the app location and name.
• The app will deploy however the initial application start will fail because you haven't created your postgress database service.
• The error messages in the DevOps pipeline services shows you haven't created your postgresql-qc database service.
• Create the postgress service. I used "postgresql-qc" as the name in the manifest file.
• Bind the service to your app in the blumix dashboard bluemix.net
• Restart your app in Bluemix
• Access the deployed app using the routesURL at the top of your app routesURL/admin
• Use admin for user id and password and start creating users.
• Enjoy

Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot your Bluemix app the main useful source of information are the logs, to see them, run:

$ cf logs <application-name> --recent
