Platform.sh Python 3.6 minimal example

This project provides a starter kit for Django projects hosted on Platform.sh. It is primarily an example, although could be used as the starting point for a real project.

Notice specifically the server.py where we read some of the environment variables and configure Django to connect to the correct database and to a redis instance.

In this example we are not running any application server but the python script directly, you can check-out other examples to see it run with application servers such as Gunicorn.

Starting a new project

To start a new project based on this template, follow these 3 simple steps:

  1. Clone this repository locally. You may optionally remove the origin remote or remove the .git directory and re-init the project if you want a clean history.

  2. Create a new project through the Platform.sh user interface and select "Import an existing project" when prompted.

  3. Run the provided Git commands to add a Platform.sh remote and push the code to the Platform.sh repository.

That's it! You now have a working "hello world" level project you can build on.

Using as a reference

You can also use this repository as a reference for your own projects, and borrow whatever code is needed. The most important parts are the .platform.app.yaml file and the .platform directory.
