Issue Deploying Django App with Gunicorn on Railway

It's been a few days of trying to get this up for some production tests but I'm having issues getting it to launch on railway. Everything works great locally in the debug environment 'python manage.py runserver'. I'm still relatively new regarding web server deployment but from what I read railway was a good starting point for my use case but I'm still unsure. I've added all the necessary files for deployment, changed my settings for production, and hidden my variables in the environment (I have them on railway too). Requirements, Runtime, procfile and gunicorn.conf. For some reason, I always seem to encounter an issue with the docker image building or it says no start-up command and I'm not sure what command would be required while I have the procfile. Any help would be appreciated and if anyone has the time to help me out more in-depth, I'm willing to pay if you can help me solve my issue.

if your Procfile doesn't have a capital P it wont be detected.

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

what are its contents?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

release: python manage.py migrate web: gunicorn dragon.wsgi -c gunicorn.conf.py

Brody•7mo ago

i think it would be best to delete the heroku Procfile and use a railway.json file instead - https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/django/blob/main/railway.json

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Ill try that So it looks like it deployed correctly but it failed to respond

NovixelOP•7mo ago

NovixelOP•7mo ago

could it be my port with the conf file

Brody•7mo ago

yes, send your gunicorn.conf please

NovixelOP•7mo ago

bind = "0.0.0.0:8000" workers = 3 timeout = 120

Brody•7mo ago

remove the bind line

NovixelOP•7mo ago

okay Same thing

NovixelOP•7mo ago

it selected a port tho Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'dragon-production.up.railway.app'. You may need to add 'dragon-production.up.railway.app' to ALLOWED_HOSTS. oo

Brody•7mo ago

please be more specfic when you say there is an error

NovixelOP•7mo ago

this is the first actual error ive gotten so. Progress lol ima try to add that I appreciate your time. I've tried to deploy with he cli as it seems faster but I always run in to this error

Brody•7mo ago

thats an issue with your os, but the code would have still been uploaded

NovixelOP•7mo ago

I thought soo I was gonna run a virtual env for it but I figured if I'm launching in railway I don't need to

Brody•7mo ago

are you using a custom domain?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

no just he railway generated one

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

your code and or gunicorn is sending redirects when it shouldnt try adding --forwarded-allow-ips "*" to your gunicorn start command

NovixelOP•7mo ago

would it be any of this

Brody•7mo ago

no, please read the message again

NovixelOP•7mo ago

okay i will try that WOOO okay sooo --forwarded-allow-ips "* what does it do is that an usecure thing i should worrie about

Brody•7mo ago

did it fix the redirect issue?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Yes

Brody•7mo ago

https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/20.1.0/settings.html#forwarded-allow-ips

NovixelOP•7mo ago

I have another issue too i see none of djangos static files are found

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

whats your current railway.json in use?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

{
    "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
    "build": {
        "builder": "NIXPACKS"
    },

        "startCommand": "python manage.py migrate && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput && gunicorn dragon.wsgi --forwarded-allow-ips '*'",
        "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
        "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
    }
}

Brody•7mo ago

NovixelOP•7mo ago

message.txt

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Do you prefer bmac or do you want some crypto >?

Brody•7mo ago

use these -

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "staticfiles")

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "staticfiles")

you dont need to send me anything, but thank you

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Well, I think you deserve something. You've been a great help. what you do want 😄 steam card or somthing

Brody•7mo ago

bmac if you insist

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Sounds good Enjoy your trains

Brody•7mo ago

thank you very much

NovixelOP•7mo ago

I may need a hand in the future so I'm gonna add you 😄 nothing is free in this world and your time is valuable so I will pay for your services. ?: (staticfiles.W004) The directory '/app/static' in the STATICFILES_DIRS setting does not exist. 125 static files copied to '/app/staticfiles'.

Brody•7mo ago

i appreciate that but i wouldn’t be here if i wanted the people i help to pay

NovixelOP•7mo ago

i feel like I'm missing something

Brody•7mo ago

might be easier if you could share your repo?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Whats your git

Brody•7mo ago

brody192

NovixelOP•7mo ago

ive added you https://github.com/Novixel/Dragon/

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

looking i assume you have the root directory set to /app?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

yes

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

where are your static files, i dont see them anywhere in the repo?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

I dont have any stored just the django ones that install with pip would i need to store them in the repo ? everything else is working just not the admin not a big deal but I would like it to look properly

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

do you not have a static folder locally?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

no worked fine without it

Brody•7mo ago

send a link to your site please

NovixelOP•7mo ago

https://dragon-production.up.railway.app/

Brody•7mo ago

what do you see when you visit that site?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Eveything is working correctly

Brody•7mo ago

yep, looks like it was just cache

NovixelOP•7mo ago

https://dragon-production.up.railway.app/admin/ looks off

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

what does it look like running locally

NovixelOP•7mo ago

One moment not letting me run it local now

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

why are you trying to access it with https?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

im not lol its forcing

Brody•7mo ago

what command did you run

NovixelOP•7mo ago

python manage.py runserver was working fine before

Brody•7mo ago

django seems to disagree with you on this

NovixelOP•7mo ago

but it forces https

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

dont open it with https

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

is it redirecting you?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

yes it sends me to https either way i try to access it now

Brody•7mo ago

something somewhere is set to do that

NovixelOP•7mo ago

okay i found it

Brody•7mo ago

what was it?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

If i go with http://localhost:8000 it works but not http://127.0.0.1:8000/ very odd

NovixelOP•7mo ago

this is what its suppose to look like

Brody•7mo ago

what page is that

NovixelOP•7mo ago

django admin

Brody•7mo ago

what url path

NovixelOP•7mo ago

https://dragon-production.up.railway.app/admin/ http://localhost:8000/admin

Brody•7mo ago

please go to the path you are having issues with on railway

NovixelOP•7mo ago

im there

NovixelOP•7mo ago

seem the css static files are not found

Brody•7mo ago

so same thing locally then

NovixelOP•7mo ago

locally is showing it correctly

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

please go to the same path you are having issues with on railway

NovixelOP•7mo ago

I am

Brody•7mo ago

/admin != /admin/login/?next=/admin/

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

i can only go off the information you provide me

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Yes i know lol sorry I have a bigger issue. i can fix the static thing im sure by just grabbing the django files and loading adding them to the repo My threading loop wont work on the server

Brody•7mo ago

you only have 1 vcpu so theres nothing to thread

NovixelOP•7mo ago

that makes sence anyway to fix it ?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Brody•7mo ago

upgrade to the hobby plan

NovixelOP•7mo ago

okay

Brody•7mo ago

i mean thats what i assume is the issue

NovixelOP•7mo ago

It would make the most sense if i only have one thread to work off of

root•7mo ago

Python should be smart enough to run it anyway

Brody•7mo ago

true

root•7mo ago

JS's event loop does fake threading, I'd be very surprised if Python can't do the same

Brody•7mo ago

its either bad code or trial plan

NovixelOP•7mo ago

yeah I wasn't sure if it was the best way to go but this is just proof of concept right now getting everything working I was going to use celery but that was a can of worms i couldn't figure out without deep dive 2 vCPU per Container the trial has 2 soo it should work if that was the issue

Brody•7mo ago

where does it say that, i thought it was 1

NovixelOP•7mo ago

im planning on upgrading once i get it working but I'm not sure how railway handles threading

Brody•7mo ago

well then that leaves code issue nothing to do with railway

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Okay. So if it works locally without issues where would i start looking if its on railway my logs give me nothing

Brody•7mo ago

i honestly wouldnt know, but if your logs give you nothing then you are not logging anything, id start by adding verbose logging

NovixelOP•7mo ago

that would be good how can i add the verbose logging to my start up with gunicorn

Brody•7mo ago

find a logging package you like and start using it

NovixelOP•7mo ago

I can just use regular python logging packages? nothing special for railway?

Brody•7mo ago

of course, what makes you think youd need to use something special?

NovixelOP•7mo ago

Idk still relatively new to web server stuff wasn't sure if there was anything special about it

Brody•7mo ago

when it comes down to it, its just printing text, nothing platform specific in any way

NovixelOP•7mo ago

I appreciate all your help I'm gonna do some bug testing and some deeper logging. Thank you

Brody•7mo ago

no problem!
