You can deploy Django LiveView using any web server like reverse proxy.
Nginx
I recommend using Nginx. Here is an example of how to configure. Replace example.com
with your domain and my-project
with your folder name.
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location /static {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
root /var/www/my-project;
}
location /media {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
root /var/www/my-project;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
}
It is important to note that the proxy_set_header
lines are necessary for the WebSocket to work. You can see more about it in Channels.
