Thanks to you, I have now managed to deploy my site without needing the server running in the background. One of the few tutorials here that actually works! Amazing content
One or 2 thing I wanted to learn more. 1. How to put custom domain with ssl protection? 2. With provided guide, will it manage static files too? Like image uploading of users , staffs, or media files? Kindly reply!
Can you make a video about "How to setup SSL and domain name on AWS ?" And maybe a video about "How to setup database and email service(SMTP) on AWS ?". You're really teaching in a simple way and i like it. And it works when I do the same steps as you did on the video(People who watch tutorials will understand it :DD)
Hi Burak, Thank you for your suggestions. I will try to look into that If I manage to get some time. The "How to setup an SSL certificate and a domain name on AWS" is a very good recommendation that I would like to cover. A few other people have also asked me to cover it. I do have some video's on that which you can find in my AWS fundamentals playlist. However, I would like to cover this if I can with an EC2 instance though - so that it is more complete. Thank you, I appreciate your feedback! I'm glad that you are enjoying my content and that you can follow them nicely. Hahaha... I get what you mean. Yes, I triple check my videos before I upload them to ensure that anyone who can read and type can do it. Patience is the name of the game, and I'm glad that you and many are (when it comes to following tutorials and learning) :) All the best, Arno

For anyone having the same issue I was having with FATAL or BACKOFF or STARTING errors, the only thing that worked for me was first installing what was in my "requirements.txt" file. 1. cd into the project folder then run this: pip install -r requirements.txt 2. Make sure your "gunicorn.conf" is correct and then try checking the status again. Remember to replace the "elevate.wsgi:application" part with "[your folder name that includes wsgi].wsgi:application".
I just did this tutorial and everything works up until the end. I still get a bad request(400). I thought maybe it was the ALLOWED_HOSTS, but I added the ALLOWED_HOSTS and it still gets the bad request. Does it have to do with HTTP?

Hi, Thank you for your question. Not necessarily, it all depends on your architecture and how many users you will have working on your application. Besides, the idea is to get you started with deployment. There are plenty of other things that I would've liked to cover, but it would've made for too much of a long video in one. So, if you would like to add some extra things, you will need to do some additional research on-top of this.

You're welcome! Using an Elastic IP and inputting its address into the server name field should work for associating your instance with a static IP address for various services, such as hosting websites or remote access like SSH or RDP.

Hi Sir. If I make changes to my django application and push the changes to GitHub, how do I update the changes on the terminal? Would be great if you can make a video on setting up a CI/CD pipeline on AWS to automate that process.
Hi. You would need to re-clone your application, and ensure that supervisorctl is running. To update the change. I appreciate the suggestion on CI/CD with AWS.
All this steps are easy and i can do even sleeping, so bring a video of how to enable static file on production and tell the difference between django project in dev vs prod for the context of static files
As you cloned a repo from Github, that's fine for a new project. However, I wanted to ask - how do you apply updates to your Django project from the updates pushed to your repo on the Github? Thanks
Hi, The simple way to do so would be to re-clone your GitHub repo as a means of grabbing updates. A more advanced way would be to set up a pipeline of sorts for automation.
Thank you for this! Question: I am having an ALLOWED_HOSTS issue. I have the hosts set to ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*', '54.204.100.74']. I updated with get pull and restarted the nginx server but it still wont allow me to connect. I also confirmed that IPv4 incoming addresses are good and the config files seem right. is something wrong with the allowed hosts syntax or something?
Hi, It's no problem. So, please verify that you have indeed saved the settings file correctly after making changes and that the correct settings file is being used by Django. Double-check that your web server (NGINX) and application server (such as Gunicorn) are properly configured and restarted after changes. Ensure that any environment-specific settings or environment variables are set correctly if you are using them.If using Docker or another containerization tool, confirm that the container has the updated settings file and that it's being rebuilt and redeployed correctly. Finally, look into the server logs (both Django and NGINX) to identify any specific errors that might give more context on why the connection is not being allowed.
Hi, Supervisor is a process control system for Unix-like operating systems, which helps to manage and monitor processes, ensuring they stay up and running even after unexpected failures or crashes. Gunicorn (Green Unicorn) is a Python WSGI HTTP server for Unix, which allows you to run Python web applications. It's often used to deploy web applications written in frameworks like Django or Flask, providing concurrency and scalability to handle multiple requests efficiently.

@@CloudWithDjango one question. How do we access static files in django on EC2? Do you have any video related to it ? checked your video list but not able to find it. thanks
Hi, I would suggest that you utilize Amazon S3 for this use case. Here are the docs to learn more: django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html Good luck!
This was super helpful. Thank You! I get this response: guni:gunicorn BACKOFF Exited too quickly (process log may have details) When I run the supervisor status command. Any pointers as to what might be the cause please ?
No problem, glad to help. Ah, so this is because you configured your settings wrong. I'd recommend retrying the process and taking your time, it is very easy to make a small mistake. It happened to me a lot. I'd recommend that you double check your gunicorn.conf file. It needs to be exact. Then it'll work.
Hi, Im getting this on my supervisor log, after getting the STARTING and BACKOFF error when asking for the status: CRIT Supervisor is running as root. Privileges were not dropped because no user is specified in the config file. If you intend to ru> WARN No file matches via include "/etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf" Do I need to change/add something on my supervisor.conf? The WARN message confuses me a little bit tbh. Thx!
Hi, The reason that you are getting this error is because you haven't configured your gunicorn.conf and supervisor settings correctly. Please double check them.
Hi! If I make changes to the code, what should I do after I pull them in the AWS console? Should I reconfigure my Django file? Should I restart something?
@@CloudWithDjango Correct me if I’m wrong to assume that by recloning you mean deleting the existing project and cloning another one, since you can’t reclone two identical projects. If you meant pulling the changes and modifying the existing project directory, is this the only thing I need to do?
Hi, Recloning typically refers to deleting the existing project directory and then cloning it again from the source repository; however, if you meant pulling changes and modifying the existing project directory, updating it with the latest changes from the repository would be sufficient.

I followed your this video deployment but after deployment when we use ip address for testing in browser it show ' not secure'. Please make a video on... How to secure Django application on ec2 instance using ssl certificate?
Why create venv? In dev, a person might want to work on multiple apps. But the server instance is 1 instance. WHy use venv? what problem does this solve? what is the benefit?
Hi, That is true, but sometimes people just want to work with one application, so creating a singular virtual environment is necessary. We use It since it is a best practice for the use case in the video. The problem that it solves is that your packages and dependencies aren't stored globally everywhere, which is also a benefit for compartmentalisation
Hi Sanket, I'm glad that you got your app deployed, but the static files part is something that you need to configure separately. The app demonstrated also doesn't have static files. Please see the pinned comment for more detail.
Hi, The best way would be to test it and see. Generally speaking, you wouldn't need to restart your ec2 instance. Supervisor in the backend will keep it running as long as your ec2 instance is still active. So, just make sure that you don't terminate your ec2 instance then you will be fine. You don't need additional commands.
Hi, Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, that repo is not available. You should use your own Django project. You can follow the same steps for you own repo.

This tutorial worked perfectly for me and I got my application running :D but one question. If I wanted to specify a better server name what would I put in the djang.conf file? also if I edited that would I need to use that to find my website? also do I use http or https
I'm glad to hear that everything worked for you! You can create a domain name and associate that with the server name in the django.conf file and also in your settings.py file for allowed hosts. Yes, whatever the server name is, will usually be where you can reach your website. It is recommended to use HTTPS if possible.
Hey I used your settings and they worked perfectly. But the problem I'm facing is I'm trying to use Cloudflare. I already purchased a domain name but it isn't working. When i type my domain name in the browser it shows the welcome to nginx page but when I type in the IP address my website shows. Please how can I solve this?
Hi, You would need to first of all refer to AWS Route 53 and set your dns records there, and then refer to Amazon Certificate manager for the ssl/tls certificate. Only after that you can you set your domain name in allowed hosts within your django application
@@CloudWithDjango Thank you for your response. by making allowed hosts = ['*']worked for me. i had one more question.... Basically, when I shut my ec2 to save cost and restart whenever needed, the public IP will change, so I have to change that IP in the django.conf file as well. So Is there any solution for that?
My pleasure. So, yes, you can use an Elastic IP address with your EC2 instance to maintain a static public IP address even when the instance is stopped and started.
Hi, Sure, I can give a brief description. The "app.sock" file typically represents a Unix domain socket used for communication between a web server and a web application, facilitating efficient and secure data exchange.
bro it show 502 bad gateway nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) how to resolve it please reply soon as much as possible am in internship am responsible for production server setup
@@CloudWithDjango I am using my own project but at the end it is showing internal server error on browser I'm was wondering that I missed something during configuration but i tried 4 to 5 times but error is still in the place. Is this error related to my project or something else?
I get DisallowedHost at / even though I added public IPv4 address to ALLOWED_HOST. What might be the cause of it? Also, when I access public IPv4 DNS, I get "Welcome to nginx!" page. I am quite sure that I have followed your step thoroughly. What might I be missing?
After adding IPv4 to ALLOWED_HOST you should restart the gunicorn, This helped me when I met this same situation. To restart use cmd Sudo supervisorctl restart guni:gunicorn This may help
Hi, You don't need to restart the service, it is automatically configured with supervisor for this exact purpose. All you need to do is git pull from your GitHub repository as we did in the beginning when we grabbed our application. It will be the same process and in the exact same way. Good luck!
@@CloudWithDjango yes solved it by killing the process But since supervisor is always running it will Create another process And boom it will Update the Django app
Hi, If you are getting a 500 error. There is most likely an error with your application. If you are getting a 502 error, then you configured your settings wrong, I'm afraid. Most likely because your directory structure is different from how I demonstrate it in the video.
For the guni:gunicorn BACKOFF Exited too quickly (process log may have details) OR guni:gunicorn FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details) error. I've did some search from the forms and finally found my solution. change this: command=/home/ubuntu/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/[your top level folder]/app.sock [your folder name that includes wsgi].wsgi:application to this: command=/home/ubuntu/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/[your top level folder]/app.sock [your folder name that includes wsgi].wsgi.dev:application That simple word solved my error also i read from the forms that most of the errors are about typos. So check your directory, file and folder names double.
I was also getting this BACKOFF error because of wsgi file is nested in my project repo my filetree looks like this: projectName -->backend -->wsgi file so I had to change my directory value to directory=/home/ubuntu/projectName/backend everything else in my gunicorn.conf i followed the tutorial. thank you for this video! and thank you to the OP that posted this comment. super helpful
Sample gunicorn.conf:
[program:gunicorn]

command=/home/ubuntu/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/elevate/app.sock elevate.wsgi:application

autorestart=true

Ensure that any environment-specific settings or environment variables are set correctly if you are using them.If using Docker or another containerization tool, confirm that the container has the updated settings file and that it's being rebuilt and redeployed correctly. Finally, look into the server logs (both Django and NGINX) to identify any specific errors that might give more context on why the connection is not being allowed.
What's the use of supervisor & gunicorn?
Hi,
Supervisor is a process control system for Unix-like operating systems, which helps to manage and monitor processes, ensuring they stay up and running even after unexpected failures or crashes.
Gunicorn (Green Unicorn) is a Python WSGI HTTP server for Unix, which allows you to run Python web applications. It's often used to deploy web applications written in frameworks like Django or Flask, providing concurrency and scalability to handle multiple requests efficiently.

Thank you for your comment and for the suggestion!
thank you for sharing your knowledge, saved my day. thanks brother
My pleasure! :)
I'm glad that you managed to find the video useful.
All the best!
@@CloudWithDjango one question. How do we access static files in django on EC2? Do you have any video related to it ? checked your video list but not able to find it. thanks
Hi,
I would suggest that you utilize Amazon S3 for this use case.
Here are the docs to learn more:
django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html
Good luck!
It is so great! Thank you so much. Hope you teach how to install SSL for https with ec2
Thank you! Of course, It's my pleasure! I appreciate the suggestion, thank you!
This was super helpful. Thank You!
I get this response:
guni:gunicorn BACKOFF Exited too quickly (process log may have details)
When I run the supervisor status command.
Any pointers as to what might be the cause please ?
No problem, glad to help.
Ah, so this is because you configured your settings wrong. I'd recommend retrying the process and taking your time, it is very easy to make a small mistake. It happened to me a lot.
I'd recommend that you double check your gunicorn.conf file. It needs to be exact. Then it'll work.
@@CloudWithDjango Thank You !
@@marookegberosamuel My pleasure!
i know it was 3 month, but i write this for new viewers, add in the .conf file " startsecs=0 before autostrat=true"
@@Mrg33446 oh, thanks ! I fixed it already. Thank you for help !
thank you soo much! good luck with your next favors
My pleasure! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Seriously...do we need this much setup to run one app????
Hi,
Im getting this on my supervisor log, after getting the STARTING and BACKOFF error when asking for the status:
CRIT Supervisor is running as root. Privileges were not dropped because no user is specified in the config file. If you intend to ru>
WARN No file matches via include "/etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf"
Do I need to change/add something on my supervisor.conf?
The WARN message confuses me a little bit tbh.
Thx!
Hi,
The reason that you are getting this error is because you haven't configured your gunicorn.conf and supervisor settings correctly. Please double check them.
muchas gracias por este tutorial, saludos desde chile, muy bien explicado.
Mi placer! :)
Hi! If I make changes to the code, what should I do after I pull them in the AWS console? Should I reconfigure my Django file? Should I restart something?
Hi,
All you'd need to do is reclone your project from github as you initially did
@@CloudWithDjango Correct me if I’m wrong to assume that by recloning you mean deleting the existing project and cloning another one, since you can’t reclone two identical projects. If you meant pulling the changes and modifying the existing project directory, is this the only thing I need to do?
Hi,
Recloning typically refers to deleting the existing project directory and then cloning it again from the source repository; however, if you meant pulling changes and modifying the existing project directory, updating it with the latest changes from the repository would be sufficient.
How would you go about putting Enviorment variables within nginx?
Hi Jacob,
Thank you for reaching out.
There are many ways to do this, but you will need to do some research on the method that best works for you.
Here is some inspiration to get started (with the first option you can create a variables.conf file):

Thanks but how do we get to set the static file for superadmin
Sure thing!
You would need to set your static files with Amazon S3 or with whitenoise.
@@CloudWithDjango thanks 👍
I followed your this video deployment but after deployment when we use ip address for testing in browser it show ' not secure'.

Hi,
Yes, we don't go into detail with HTTP and HTTPS for this video.
Thank you for your video suggestion.
Why create venv? In dev, a person might want to work on multiple apps. But the server instance is 1 instance. WHy use venv? what problem does this solve? what is the benefit?
Hi,
That is true, but sometimes people just want to work with one application, so creating a singular virtual environment is necessary. We use It since it is a best practice for the use case in the video. The problem that it solves is that your packages and dependencies aren't stored globally everywhere, which is also a benefit for compartmentalisation
Its literally started working really well...except not serving static files
Hi Sanket,
I'm glad that you got your app deployed, but the static files part is something that you need to configure separately. The app demonstrated also doesn't have static files.
Please see the pinned comment for more detail.
when I type the sudo supervisorctl status my gunicorn status is STARTING. What should I do about it?
Hi Julia,
Please double check your gunicorn.conf file. This is usually the reason for it saying STARTING.
One doubt if we restart instance,what happens ? what all commands needed to run after that
Hi,
The best way would be to test it and see.
Generally speaking, you wouldn't need to restart your ec2 instance. Supervisor in the backend will keep it running as long as your ec2 instance is still active. So, just make sure that you don't terminate your ec2 instance then you will be fine.
You don't need additional commands.
can you please share the git repo url which you have used in this video, i dont see it anywhere in the description or comments?
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out.
Unfortunately, that repo is not available. You should use your own Django project. You can follow the same steps for you own repo.
Great video, can you tell me why when i check status, uptime is always 2seconds or less than that. it keeps restarting
Hi,
If it keeps restarting that would probably mean that you haven't configured supervisorctl correctly.
Hi @@CloudWithDjango thanks for replying.
i have copy pasted the code in the description. replaced the project name with my project. still it's giving issue

Im getting a 502 error message on the very last step, any idea???
Hi,
I'd suggest re-checking your steps, especially where supervisorctl is concerned
@@CloudWithDjango i dont know really, i deleted the instance, re did it carefully, same issue.
Re deleted it, re did it and it worked.
But now it stopped loading! It was working (except it didnt load css) and a few hours later it simply stopped loading
This tutorial worked perfectly for me and I got my application running :D
but one question. If I wanted to specify a better server name what would I put in the djang.conf file? also if I edited that would I need to use that to find my website? also do I use http or https
I'm glad to hear that everything worked for you!
You can create a domain name and associate that with the server name in the django.conf file and also in your settings.py file for allowed hosts.
Yes, whatever the server name is, will usually be where you can reach your website.
It is recommended to use HTTPS if possible.
Hey I used your settings and they worked perfectly. But the problem I'm facing is I'm trying to use Cloudflare. I already purchased a domain name but it isn't working. When i type my domain name in the browser it shows the welcome to nginx page but when I type in the IP address my website shows. Please how can I solve this?
How did you solve it?
@@david0411 on Django allowed hosts list, you type in your domain name.
Good as always
Thank you, Anil!
I purchased a domain on GoDaddy,pls explain me how to host my django application on ec2 with my custom domain
Hi,
You would need to first of all refer to AWS Route 53 and set your dns records there, and then refer to Amazon Certificate manager for the ssl/tls certificate. Only after that you can you set your domain name in allowed hosts within your django application
my confusion is that, what if i have new changes in my code, then how i will update this aws instance?
can you help me regarding this?
Hi,
You'd reclone your github code, as you initially did it the first time
@@CloudWithDjango ok thank for your response
My pleasure!
Hi I have s3 set up but my static files are not loading please help
Hi,
Please ensure that you setup your S3 files before deployment.
@@CloudWithDjango For some reason gunicorn and nginx do not recognise my env vars. If I use runserver command everything works fine
Do i need to make Any changes for Allowed hosts? i am having trouble there
It would depend. Usually, if you have a domain name, you'd need to add it in or the ip address associated. For this project in the video you do not.
@@CloudWithDjango Thank you for your response. by making allowed hosts = ['*']worked for me.
i had one more question.... Basically, when I shut my ec2 to save cost and restart whenever needed, the public IP will change, so I have to change that IP in the django.conf file as well. So Is there any solution for that?
My pleasure. So, yes, you can use an Elastic IP address with your EC2 instance to maintain a static public IP address even when the instance is stopped and started.
can you also explain the app.sock file for beginners?
Hi,
Sure, I can give a brief description. The "app.sock" file typically represents a Unix domain socket used for communication between a web server and a web application, facilitating efficient and secure data exchange.
@@CloudWithDjango ohh..thanks for the info. and your quick reply! :)
No worries at all! :)

I get DisallowedHost at / even though I added public IPv4 address to ALLOWED_HOST. What might be the cause of it? Also, when I access public IPv4 DNS, I get "Welcome to nginx!" page. I am quite sure that I have followed your step thoroughly. What might I be missing?
After adding IPv4 to ALLOWED_HOST you should restart the gunicorn, This helped me when I met this same situation.
To restart use cmd
Sudo supervisorctl restart guni:gunicorn
This may help
Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'my public ip'. You may need to add 'my public ip' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.
please help me
Hi,
You need to either allow all hosts in your allowed hosts setting or add in the public IPv4 address for your ec2 instance.
hello so if I want to restart the service after making some changes to the django application what do I do ?
Hi,
You don't need to restart the service, it is automatically configured with supervisor for this exact purpose.
All you need to do is git pull from your GitHub repository as we did in the beginning when we grabbed our application. It will be the same process and in the exact same way.
Good luck!
@@CloudWithDjango yes solved it by killing the process
But since supervisor is always running it will
Create another process
And boom it will
Update the Django app

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway).
I'm getting this error what to do???????????
Hi,
If you are getting a 500 error. There is most likely an error with your application.
If you are getting a 502 error, then you configured your settings wrong, I'm afraid. Most likely because your directory structure is different from how I demonstrate it in the video.
Is your problem resolved?
ive got this one too, actually I think the problem was on my app.sock?

how to do it with docker?
Hi,
It is recommended to rather use Amazon ECR and ECS for docker.
what happens if I see starting?
Hi,
The state to change from starting to running. If you see starting too long that usually means that your path set in supervisorctl is incorrect.

For the
guni:gunicorn BACKOFF Exited too quickly (process log may have details)
OR
guni:gunicorn FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details)
error. I've did some search from the forms and finally found my solution.
change this:
command=/home/ubuntu/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/[your top level folder]/app.sock [your folder name that includes wsgi].wsgi:application
to this:
command=/home/ubuntu/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/[your top level folder]/app.sock [your folder name that includes wsgi].wsgi.dev:application
That simple word solved my error also i read from the forms that most of the errors are about typos. So check your directory, file and folder names double.
Thank you for providing additional clarity for others!
I was also getting this BACKOFF error because of wsgi file is nested in my project repo
my filetree looks like this:
projectName
-->backend
-->wsgi file
so I had to change my directory value to directory=/home/ubuntu/projectName/backend
everything else in my gunicorn.conf i followed the tutorial. thank you for this video! and thank you to the OP that posted this comment. super helpful
