Hi everyone,
If you would like to keep your server up and running after the Ubuntu terminal disconnects. Feel free to check out my other tutorial down below:
ua-cam.com/video/7O1H9kr1CsA/v-deo.html
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Hi all,
Please note that you will have to setup your static and media files as well - I'd suggest using Amazon S3.
Here is a tutorial on how to setup Amazon S3:
ua-cam.com/video/JQVQcNN0cXE/v-deo.html
You will also have to setup your database as well - I'd recommend using a PostgreSQL database.
Here is a tutorial on how to setup a PostgreSQL database with Render for FREE:

Really useful tutorial thank you! I'm a little new to AWS but is there any way to keep the server running without having it open...? It seems that when I close the Ubuntu terminal it disconnects. I'd like to be able to have access to this all the time.
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out.
It's a pleasure! I'm glad that the tutorial was of use to you.
There are many ways to deploy a Django app on EC2. This is just one simple way. For your use case, you need to setup an ec2 instance and deploy your Django app on it with apache/nginx and gunicorn. There should be plenty of articles online that should assist you with the above.
Good luck!
thanks, you have very useful content.
My pleasure! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much for this

Great Tutorial ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
With your video I managed to deploy. thank you, keep making videos like this.
Now I need to know how to efficiently get updates from the repository to the server. Do you have a video showing how to do this?
Hi,
My pleasure! Thank you for your feedback.
Unfortunately, I have nothing like that for now, but thank you for your suggestion. I could possibly look into that in the future, if I'm able.
Good tutorial. Thanks
Thank you! Of course! Glad that it helped!
Would be great to do a complete, including web server and static deploy
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion.
Thank you for your video. Cloning the GitHub repository of 'yeswanthin' worked for me, and I followed your video to the end. However, in my project, I encountered a problem when I tried to install and set up my requirements.txt using the command 'pip3 install -r requirements.txt' or 'pip install -r requirements.txt'. It seems that the command is not recognized when using EC2 Instance Connect. Could you assist me with this issue? Thank you for your prompt response.
Hi,
It's a pleasure. So, it seems like your EC2 instance might not have pip installed. You can easily install it by running 'sudo apt-get install python3-pip' or 'sudo yum install python3-pip' depending on your Linux distribution, then retry the 'pip3 install -r requirements.txt' command.
If I want to use my django app I have to run server first on ubuntu/aws. Is there a way to run server all the time so anybody/anytime could have access to my app?
Hi, so to keep your Django app running all the time for anyone to access, you need to set it up on a cloud server like AWS, install Django and its dependencies, configure the app, run a web server, set up a database, ensure security, optionally configure a domain name, and monitor performance.
Thank you so much for this video.
How does AWS Elastic Beanstalk simplify application deployment? Compare AWS Elastic Beanstalk and EC2. In what scenarios would you choose one over the other?
My pleasure.
Sure thing. AWS Elastic Beanstalk simplifies application deployment by automatically handling the provisioning, scaling, and management of underlying infrastructure, whereas EC2 requires manual setup and configuration of virtual servers, making Elastic Beanstalk preferable for streamlined deployment of web applications with less administrative overhead.
@@CloudWithDjango ok, thank you. Is there any video for this on your channel?
No problem. I do offer AWS Elastic Beanstalk content but only as a Udemy course and not on UA-cam.
couldnt get my app up on neither railway nor heroku. this is a life saver, thank you !
btw, how to remove the clone from ec2 instance?
Hi,
You would need to navigate to the main directory and delete it by issuing linux based commands (I'd recommend researching that part)
hey the project is working just fine until the last step, in the last step after changing the inbound security settings, the webpage is showing a not secure warning and the to do list site is not being displayed. PLS HELP
make the https: to http and it should work just fine
Failed to connect to your instance
Error establishing SSH connection to your instance. Try again later., this shows shows while trying to connect to the ec2 linux instance, pls help! thx
Hi,
Please checking the following: Kindly ensure that your EC2 instance is running on the AWS Management Console. Ensure your security group allows inbound SSH traffic on port 22. Check if network ACLs permit inbound and outbound traffic on port 22. Confirm you're using the correct SSH key pair for authentication. Review instance system logs for errors on the EC2 dashboard. Check system logs within the instance for errors. Ping the instance's public IP address to ensure accessibility. Restart the instance from the EC2 dashboard. Verify if your instance type is supported in the region.
Respect!
Thank you!
You earned a sub
Thank you so much! :)
Anybody know where to look specifically when encountering a 502 BAD GATEWAY. I've checked over my configuration several times to no avail.
Hi,
Additionally, I'd suggest ensuring that you have configured your inbound rules correctly and that your application is setup in the correct directory and linked properly.
Good one thanks
My pleasure, Amit!
bless you good sir
Thank you! :) And of course! No worries!
is it possible to deploy a django app that uses oracle db, in EC2?
Hi,
Yes, it's possible to deploy a Django application that uses an Oracle database on an EC2 instance. However, it requires installing Oracle Instant Client libraries on the instance, configuring Django to use the Oracle backend, ensuring network connectivity to the Oracle database, optimizing performance, implementing security measures, and performing regular maintenance tasks.
Thank you for amazing video, am starting with aws and that video was clear and shows everything. i just wonder if you can tell us if it is possible to set up virtual environment on EC2 and if it is possible to run more than one project on single instance. if you do or have done another video about that you can let us know, Thank you
My pleasure! :)
Yes, it is possible to setup a virtual environment on ECS, and It won't be possible to run more than one project on a single instance, since the ip address needs to map to a website based on that project.
Thank you for the suggestions. If I have time, I could possibly make a video on some of those things in the future.
All the best,
Arno
@@CloudWithDjango thank you for reply, that means it's not really necessary to have virtual env on the instance if you can't have multiple projects on it, i think venv helps to avoid issues with packages in different projects.
Hi,
No worries.
It is still necessary to have a virtual environment since each unique project should have one. Each Django project would be seen as a single web application which is a separate website on an instance.
Thanks!
Pleasure!
Thanks a lot. Please make a video..how we can set any ci/cd pipeline in this project.
My pleasure!
Thank you for your suggestion.
how did you connect sqlite3 databse into aws e2
Hi, it is automatically installed with a normal working Django project
how can I make it secure on https? because I added an inbound rule on https but it displays site cannot be reached, only on http port 8000 this works.
Hi,
I'd suggest ensuring that you have your domain name in allowed hosts set, and that your dns records with your domain name has been cached correctly.
You also need to ensure that your domain name has an SSL/TLS certificate associated with it.
I am getting this issue You're accessing the development server over HTTPS, but it only supports HTTP.
Hi,
Please don't add a redirect in your django application for https. This can be done on AWS with your load balancer.
Hello, How can I active https in my python app (django) AWS EC2?
Hi you would need to register a domain name, and assign an SSL/TLS certificate first. After that you will need to configure it with your application.
but now I have made some changes in my github account. How can I update the final version? you can help
Hi,
You just need to pull (clone) the latest commit from your repository.
You missed env varibale setting
can we connect or deploy our django backend api like pandas, in same way??
Hi,
You would need to test this and experiment to know for sure.
thank you sooooo much
My pleasure!
Great tutorial! I was close to deploying my app but I ran into the error Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'address:8000'. You may need to add 'address' to ALLOWED_HOSTS. How do I fix that?
Hi,
Thank you very much.
Please double check your configuration settings exactly as demonstrated in the video. Line by line. Also, ensure that you have * under allowed hosts in your settings.py.
did you found a solution? I'm stuck with the same error.
Great tutorial! Using the default database (SQLite3) does not need extra configurations, but how to configure it when using PostgreSQL as a database?
Hi,
Thank you. I'm glad that it was useful to you. I would recommend making use of AWS RDS (postgres). I have a video available on how to do this - under my Django 4.0 playlist. Hope that helps.
Good luck!
@@CloudWithDjango I watched the video, but I have already installed and configurated PostgreSQL and everything is working fine locally, but when I upload it to AWS as Ubuntu EC2 instance, I can not make the migrations... An error is raised - "Is the server running on host "xxx" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?" Any advices how to solve the problem? Should I install postgre on my ubuntu instance or something else?
Hi,
This is most likely because you need to allow access to port 5432 from all IPV4 and IPV6 addresses. In your inbound rules.
@@CloudWithDjango Hello,
The rules should be like that - res.cloudinary.com/hhmf7fxle/image/upload/v1674310453/aws_nzmr8j.png, right? But still get the same error...
@@teodor9056 Hi,
The security groups are configured correctly.
You probably need to configure your migrations before or during deployment from RDS
Would you make deploy python django project on AWS. And the server runs continuosly even we shutdown the computer.server should stop manually
Hi,
As soon as you stop the instance, it will turn off.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Thank youu anna
Hi,
It's Arno haha. But, it's a pleasure! :)
helped lot brother
That's great to hear! I'm glad!
@@CloudWithDjangosir can we register domain in free in AWS and deploy online
@@khgowda9996 Hi,
Sorry, the domain will cost money but the SSL certificate will be free
Amazing
Thank you so much!
Hello there, can you please upload a tutorial on how we can containerize this django application? It will be very helpful. Thanks
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion.
can you make a video on how to put SSL certificate and a domain?
Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion.
There is content on the channel to help you with this.
Here are some links to give you some guidance.
Register a domain name:
ua-cam.com/video/gJ4HiV53W64/v-deo.html
Attach an SSL ceritifcate to a load balancer:
ua-cam.com/video/rhOsL3zR8TE/v-deo.html
When we close the "EC2 instance connect" page, that is, the terminal, the site goes offline, how can we leave it working?
Hi,
You would need to make use of a background processor such as supervisor.
This tutorial will be more suited to keeping the server active after terminating the server:
ua-cam.com/video/7O1H9kr1CsA/v-deo.html
Good luck!
@@CloudWithDjango Thanks 😜
Sir i followed these steps in your video. But the problem is when i shutdown the system i dont get the server. Is there any problem or feauture to be enabled for that. Pls reply
Hi Abdul,
Yes, if you shutdown the system, nothing will run. Additional settings need to be setup for that to work.
I do a have tutorial on my channel with Nginx which uses supervisor to keep everything running. I'm sure that will be more suited to your goal.
It's not working it says site cannot be reached even after modifying the security group settings what should I do
Hi,
Please double check your settings.
It works perfectly fine.
Hii thanks for the video
I have an issue
When i close the ec2 conenct page,
The hosted website doesn't load
I need to open ec2 connect and run the server again
i.e: i need to keep my pc running always, with the ec2 connect page open, to access the website
Hi. It's a pleasure. It seems your web server is running in the foreground. To keep the hosted website accessible after closing the EC2 Connect page, run the server in the background or use tools like nohup to detach the process.
@@CloudWithDjango thanks will check it
Thanks for the quick reply
No worries! Good luck!
i have deployed the postgres database of same django app on aws rds, and static file in s3 aws , same app
now can use this method to deploy my same app on aws ec2
Hi,
It would depend on how you are planning to manage your application. But yes, EC2 is used for the virtual server and to launch your application.
will try and update you thanks for a quick reply.
can we acces this website from any pc via internet any where from the world
Hi,
Yes, that is correct.
Sir, where and how can i connect my specfic domain, it will be very helpfull if you'll reply, thank you.
Hi,
You would need to use AWS Route 53 to generate a domain name, and Amazon Certificate Manager to generate a FREE SSL/TLS certificate.
After which you'd assign that domain name onto your load balancer or EC2 Instance directly.
I have a question. If I run server, Is this keep runging? or if I turn off computer, Is this terminate server?
because my server dead whenever turn off the computer
Hi,
This is expected to occur.
Yes, you would need to use Nginx with supervisorctl to keep it permanently running.
@@CloudWithDjangoHi sir, a follow-up question, does Nginx actually turn this application into a service that can actually keep running?
Is it working for a backend database SQLite?? I want to deploy the project having backend logic? I am a beginner plz help.
Hi,
Yes, you shouldn't have a problem with your SQLite database, but if you do, you can switch out to postgres or mysql.
Good luck!
@@CloudWithDjango Thanks for reply☺
My pleasure!
How about custom domains and ssl certificates?
Hi,
You would need to look in AWS Route 53 and Amazon Certificate Manager for that (as a starting point)
hey, great video, I have a small question, if I'm running the app directly on ec2, how can I update the ec2 with the new code after making changes and adding new features, I'm not able to find any info about this specific subject in the web, the goal is to update the code on the existing ec2 instance that runs my app in order for the new features to be displayed when users interact with my app domain, what are the options exactly? connect to the ec2 via ssh and git pull master and this should be enough, I would very much appreciate if you could elaborate on this matter, I know that using ECS may be more simpler than this but I wanna now regardless how to update the ec2 instance with the latest code if my app instead of creating a new ec2 everytime, thanks a lot.
Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
I see. You could do the following. To update the code on an existing EC2 instance, connect via SSH, navigate to your app directory, pull the latest changes from your Git repository, install/update dependencies, restart your application, and ensure to check logs for errors.
@@CloudWithDjango got it, thank you, is this how it is usually done? Is there a best practice for this scenario? I subbed for the channel today, I wanna get into cloud more and Im interested in django.
Hi,
Yes, that is typically the way to go (usually the best practice), however there are multiple ways to do it, and I'd suggest researching and finding alternative ways that best suit your needs and preference etc.
Ah, great! Thank you for your sub and support! All the best! :)
Will this only work with public projects?
Hi. You can use it for any type of project that you want
do you have any tutorial of how to lunch using https?

You will need to purchase a domain name first with AWS Route 53, and then a TLS/SSL certificate with Amazon certificate manager
I had kept disallowed host.What do i do now?
Please ensure that you add in your domain name to allowed hosts
Sure, it works, but on port 8000 to the public isn’t very useful. Is there another video where you explain how to service the application on port 80/443?
Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not.

Yes, you'd need to use a linux distribution for this to work
after adding domain everything done ?
Hi,
You can add in a domain if you'd like. I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by done? There are plenty of things that can be added in. Such as an SSL/TLS certificate as well.
A stellar tutorial Kind sir!
Quick question. I appreciate this is a year old and that as I'm sure you are aware Amazon have since introduced an additional authentication requirement when cloning your Git Repo.
I'm all like "Whaaaaaaaaat"?
Any light to be shed? Something about an SSH key
Much appreciated.
Thank you so much!
No worries, I can understand that with time past there would be changes that would need to be integrated.
I'll give you some guidance on this:
To adapt to Amazon's updated authentication requirements for accessing Git repositories, such as AWS CodeCommit, you'll need to transition to using SSH keys for authentication. Begin by generating an SSH key pair on your local machine using the ssh-keygen command in your terminal. This command generates both a public and private key. If you've set a passphrase for added security, consider adding your private key to the SSH agent using the ssh-add command to avoid entering the passphrase repeatedly.
Next, log in to your Amazon AWS account and navigate to the IAM (Identity and Access Management) console. Within the console, upload your SSH public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to "SSH keys for AWS CodeCommit."
Once your SSH key is uploaded, configure Git to use SSH by updating the repository URL from HTTPS to SSH. Typically, the SSH URL provided by Amazon follows this format: ssh://git-codecommit.{region}.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/{repository-name}. Replace {region} with your AWS region and {repository-name} with the name of your repository. With this setup, when you access the repository, your SSH key will be utilized for authentication. If you've set a passphrase, you may be prompted for it unless you've added the key to the SSH agent. By following these steps, you'll seamlessly authenticate with Amazon's Git repositories using SSH keys, providing a more secure approach compared to traditional password authentication, particularly for processes involving sensitive data or automation.
@@CloudWithDjango Beautiful! I'll give this a shot!
@@CloudWithDjango There's no option for "SSH keys for AWS CodeCommit" on the IAM console but I'll figure it out.
No worries! I see. Since it's an EC2 instance, you could also try creating your EC2 instance and in the setup you should be able to download a keypair. That should allow you to SSH into your EC2 instance. Might make things easier for you. So, yeah there are quite a few ways to go about it.
@@CloudWithDjango I have no doubt that won't work either because it'll find something else to moan about - God forbid should my life be easy

that is literally not a good way to deploy a django app, you are using the development server, which is not design to bear the loads
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
The purpose of the video tutorial is to get a simple and general idea of how you can undertake a form of deployment with EC2, and not to delve into an intricate architecture with load testing and to deal with the expected complexities of a huge array of traffic.

Hello.EC2 absolutely free?
Hi Riad.
Thank you for your question.
If you created your AWS account in the last year, then you will be eligible for the free tier. Which is completely free. After a year you will start paying for your instances. That being said the T2.micro instance is very cheap. As long as you only use it for quick testing.

How did it work without you installing a Web server?
Hi,
You don't need a web server for this since we use EC2 linux and the default WSGI.
