Django deployment

My app is working in Heroku and I'm deploying it using Dokploy. I get the error

I'm using SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET_KEY') in my settings.py and it's definitely in my environment variables with Dokploy. Anything else I'm missing?

I can look into that I will create a django application. In the meantime can you try with nixpacks? https://nixpacks.com/docs/providers/python#start

Python | Nixpacks

App source + Nix packages + Docker = Image

James FloresOP•13mo ago

Tried with nixpacks and it didn't support Django 5+ Only 4.2.11 I ran into dependency issues I'll see if I can get it working with 4.2.11 I think the main issue is not seeing my env vars

Siumauricio•13mo ago

What was the issue?

@James Flores I'm back, i will create a new django application what exactly version you had in order to reproduce?

James FloresOP•13mo ago

5.0.4 (thank you)

Siumauricio•13mo ago

I got working in a previous version for now 4.2.11, i attach the settings, also you need to add a Procfile in order to work, here is the repo https://github.com/Dokploy/django-demo/blob/main/mysite/Procfile, tomorrow i will try with that version

Siumauricio•13mo ago

James FloresOP•13mo ago

Did you have any environment variables? Can the app read any of them? That was my main issue but I will have a look at your repo soon. Was this with nixpacks?

arifkubel•13mo ago

On my end, environment variables are also not working. i tried to deploy a Next.js application. I've tried using Dockerfile and Nixpacks, but nothing seems to work.

James FloresOP•13mo ago

Ok. Great to hear it’s not just me 😌

Siumauricio•13mo ago

I tried another project specifically which requires enviroment variables from a postgres database and is working the migrations were apply succesfully https://github.com/Dokploy/django-demo/tree/demo-2 is a fork from railways projects

Siumauricio•13mo ago

the database

Siumauricio•13mo ago

you can see the tables of migration

Siumauricio•13mo ago

@arifkubel @James Flores you were both right, the environment variables was not passing right to the nixpacks builder, they was passing as a index something like --env 0 --env 1, now is fixed, and the version Django==5.0.4 is working now, i will make the release today

Siumauricio•13mo ago

James FloresOP•13mo ago

Thanks so much! I'm actually just testing your repo now So with the repo, were you using Heroku buildpacks? Now I can use Nixpacks when you make the release?

Siumauricio•13mo ago

probably it will not work now since you need to set this env NIXPACKS_PYTHON_VERSION=3.10, and the fix is here https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy/pull/21

GitHub

Fix/builder env wrong way by Siumauricio · Pull Request #21 · Dokpl...

Fix: Currently there was a wrong way to pass the enviroments to the builder, we was passing as a index(number) instead of the real value.

Siumauricio•13mo ago

Yes, when i make the release you can start using No, i was using nixpacks

James FloresOP•13mo ago

NIXPACKS_PYTHON_VERSION=3.10
NIXPACKS_START_CMD="python manage.py migrate && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput && gunicorn mysite.wsgi"

NIXPACKS_PYTHON_VERSION=3.10
NIXPACKS_START_CMD="python manage.py migrate && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput && gunicorn mysite.wsgi"

So I'll try this

Siumauricio•13mo ago

these are my envs

NIXPACKS_PYTHON_VERSION=3.10
PGDATABASE=django-demo
PGUSER=postgres
PGPASSWORD=vYh3VBYHUkGsyTrh
PGHOST=postgres-parse-multi-byte-alarm-jnmc5i

James FloresOP•13mo ago

Got it to build with nixpacks on the main branch with Django 4.2.11

James FloresOP•13mo ago

port 8000 right?

Siumauricio•13mo ago

Yes Testing the changes on canary and the build and everything is working now version 5 https://canary-app-1.dokploy.com/ I will push to latest in a few minutes

James FloresOP•13mo ago

thanks. How do we upgrade our dokploy instance?

Siumauricio•13mo ago

Updating Procedure: Navigate to Settings > Server. Upon entry, the system will automatically begin downloading the latest server image. Please wait approximately 2 minutes for the download to complete. Once the download is finished, an "Update Server" button will appear. Click this button to proceed with the server update. if you can't see the button simply reload the page

James FloresOP•13mo ago

Done. Should it update the version number in the footer? It built! But how to do I fix "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" I'm using cloudflare

Siumauricio•13mo ago

no, the current version is the v0.0.1 so no worries

I turned off cloudflare for the record for now, so I can see that it's working. Now the page returns "Bad gateway" NVM. My issue there with deploy lol
