Deploy Django project on Heroku

#django #heroku #python

Hello Devs, Today I'm going to tell you how can you upload your Django project on Heroku in just simple steps..

First of all, install some modules :-

pip install django-heroku   
pip install gunicorn
pip install whitenoise

Now add some scripts in your settings.py

django_heroku Configuration

import django_heroku

Whitenoise Configuration

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
]

#This above is very imp for the condition when debug=True, so please paste this file here

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage'

Static and Media Settings

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media')
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

Now, open cmd and run these commands
Connect your project to your heroku app

heroku git:clone -a project_name

Now Deploy your changes using git

git add .
git commit -am "make it better"
git push heroku master

Now most important add Procfile file without any extension and open your procfile and add this file.

web: gunicorn project_name.wsgi
