django¶

• i have a django site here that i tinker with
• https://shane0.pythonanywhere.com/
• see youtube link bottom of page
• I have some django screencasts
• use it for websites, front or back end
• django is a huge time saver
• has a bunch of stuff built in
• todo: put my django click app here

# django
alias dr='python manage.py runserver 8000'
alias vvv='virtualevn venv'
alias vv='source venv/bin/activate'
alias vf='pip install --editable .'
alias vr='pip install -r requirements.txt'
alias lt='ls --human-readable --size -1 -S --classify'

python manage.py runserver
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

hosting¶

• pythonanywhere is free and works with a sqlite db
• if you want postgres you can use supabase for free
• pythonanywhere does not allow connecting to supabase unless you pay
• this was an annoying waste of time just to determine what the errors meant
• I had to dig into their forums to find a user that explained you have to pay to enable it
• side note about python anywhere: fastapi requires asgi & they only provide wsgi
• I've tried a few other ways to host django
• google cloud run
• aws
• linode & openlitespeed
• python anywhere is the only one I stuck with
