OpenLiteSpeed Django

The Django OpenLiteSpeed One-Click app automatically installs Linux, performance web server OpenLiteSpeed, Python LSAPI and ACME. OpenLiteSpeed features HTTP/3 support, and easy setup for SSL and RewriteRules. It’s flexible enough to host multiple Django apps, and supports many other apps including NodeJS, Ruby, and CMSs like WordPress.

Software Included

Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the OpenLiteSpeed Django 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB OpenLiteSpeed Django Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image": "litespeedtechnol-openlitespeeddja-20-04"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying OpenLiteSpeed Django

From a terminal on your local computer, connect to the Droplet as root. Make sure to substitute the Droplet’s IP address.

ssh root@use_your_droplet_ip

An interactive script that runs will first prompt you for your domain or subdomain.

You can press CTRL+C and continue to SSH. The prompt will open again the next time you log in, and will continue to do so until you finish the whole setup.

Please input a valid domain:
Please verify it is correct. [y/N]

You can also automatically apply Let’s Encrypt SSL if your domain is pointed to this server already. Enter y and your email address to finish the process.

Do you wish to issue a Let's encrypt certificate for this domain? [y/N]
Please enter your E-mail:
Please verify it is correct: [y/N]

Once finished, you should see Certificate has been successfully installed…

Do you wish to force HTTPS rewrite rule for this domain? [y/N]

Enter y to force HTTPS rules to be applied

Do you wish to update the system which include the web server? [Y/n]

This script will automatically go away after your domain has been added.

DigitalOcean Managed Database

If you select to install a DigitalOcean Managed Database while creating this 1-click app, DigitalOcean handles the creation of the database cluster as well as the Droplet. The Droplet will have a DATABASE_URL environment variable configured including a database connection string, such as:

postgresql://doadmin:@dbaas-db-11111-do-user-1111111-1.b.db.ondigitalocean.com:25060/defaultdb?sslmode=require

Your managed database configuration and credentials will be stored in /root/.digitalocean_dbaas_credentials
