Steps to Deploy

  • Django project ProjectName: virtualclinic and Application Name: virtualclinic
  • After starting the virtual environment:
pip install dj-database-url gunicorn psycopg2 whitenoise
  • Make requirements.txt file by pip freeze > requirements.txt
  • Create a file named Procfile and added web: gunicorn virtualclinic.wsgi
  • Create a file named runtime.txt and added the python version being used, for me python-3.5.2
  • In settings.py
import dj_database_url
# other settings.py code lines
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost','127.0.0.1','*']
# other settings.py code lines
DATABASES = {
    'default': dj_database_url.config(
        default='sqlite:////{0}'.format(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'))
    )
}
# other settings.py code lines
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_STORAGE='whitenoise.django.GzipManifestStaticFilesStorage'
  • In wsgi.py file
from whitenoise.django import DjangoWhiteNoise
# other configurations wsgi.py code lines
application = DjangoWhiteNoise(application)  # In the last line

python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1
git add --all
git commit -m "deploying on heroku"
