Running Python 3.7 Django App service Linux on Azure

In this blog I’m creating Django app with Python 3.7 image from Azure Web App on Linux

• Create an app and open visual studio code

• Create requirements.txt with below content

  django==2.1.2

• Make sure you create virtual env from Python 3.7 version

  python.exe -m venv venv

• After creating it…Activate venv as below

  .\venv\Scripts\activat.bat

• Install requirements.txt

  pip install -r requirements.txt

`

• Check if Django is installed correctly

  python -m django –version

`

• Do django-admin startproject <somename> that creates auto-generate code to start Django app with

  django-admin startproject mydjangoapp

• Replace application.py content with below (In line 6  “your djangoapp.settings”)
• Source:https://github.com/gangularamya/AzurePythonDjangoWAFL/blob/master/application.py

• Include Allowed hosts in settings.py file

• Navigate to Azure Portal.
• Create Web App on Linux.

• Setup Continuous Deployment or Use local git to push your code to azure.

• You can find a sample Python Django project with above operations @GitHub Link
